ABSTRACT:
A process for the preparation of fatty acids by the oxidation of alcohols, particularly, primary alcohols, such as, octanol-1 and vicinal-diols, such as cyclohexane-1,2-diol, in which the alcohol is contacted with a peracid as an oxidizing agent in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst, such as, ruthenium chloride, ruthenium dioxide, etc., and an inert organic solvent, such as, heptane, hexane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc. If desired the process may include the addition of an organic or inorganic base, such as amines, and alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates, etc.
