             Dear Mauricio,

             Dissolve your dodecylbromide in EtOH/DMSO (70/100) and
             add 3 eq. of NaOAc
             and reflux for 18h. Checked by GC. When the
startingmaterial
             (RX) is
             disapeared cooled the mixture down and add 1 volume of
             water. Extract with
             Hexane/Et2O (1:1). Wash your organic fases with brine and
             water, dry on
             MgSO4 or NaSO4 and evaporate the solvent. Purify the
acetate
             with flash
             chromatography (2% EtOAc/hexane). You have now the pure
             acetate.

             Saponificate the acetate in 5% KOH/EtOH by refluxing voor
             4h. Extract with
             hexane/Et2O (1:1). Wash the extracts with brine and water,
             dry and evaporate
             the solvent. Purify with flash chromatography with 5%
EtOAc/hexane

             Good luck!

             Cheers,

             Hi Mauricio,

             I dont know the exact source you asked, but I can recommend

             to use two
             step technology which can give you nearly quantitative
             yield.
             First you have to make the acetate with potassium carbonate

             in boiling
             DMF and then you have to hydrolyze the acetate without
             separation. This
             is the classics and you can give any monograph of organic
             transformations
             as a source.

Mauricio,
             Porque no checas el libro de Richard Larock?
             Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, me parece que es el
             titulo, en el, hay listas extensas de todo tipo de
             transformación que necesites. Si tu quieres, voy a
             darme una vuelta a nuestra biblioteca de investigación
             y te lo busco. Si ya conseguiste la informacion que
             necesitas, puedes ignorar este mensaje. Suerte en tu
             proyecto.

             Hi!

             here s the good and easy way to synthesize your dodecanole
             from
             dodecylbromide!
