Synthesis of even C24-C30 primary normal aliphatic alcohols from cyclododecanone

A simple method has been developed for the oxidation of cyclododecanone by sodium persulfate in an aqueous methanol solution of sulfuric acid to give 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid, which upon treatment with HBr in acetic acid gives 12-bromododecanoic acid with RMgX, where R=C12H25, C14H29, C16H33, and C18H37 in THF in the presence of Li2CuCl4 and subsequent reduction of the salts of the alkanecarboxylic acids by LiAlH4 give primary even normal C24-C30 alcohols.
