ABSTRACT:
A process for the preparation of alcohols by oxidizing aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons, having 10-20 carbon atoms, in the presence of a boron compound, contacting the oxidation reaction mixture with water, removing the aqueous solution of boric acid, and separating the resulting oil layer with saponification and washing with water. A boron compound is added to the resulting oil layer to esterify the alcohols therein. The resulting mixture is distilled to remove unreacted hydrocarbons, the residue comprising borate esters of alcohols is contacted with water, the aqueous solution of boric acid is removed, and the resulting oil layer is separated and distilled to recover the desired alcohols.
