1,4-Cyclohexadiene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 8. It is a colourless, flammable liquid that is of academic interest as a prototype of a large class of related compounds called terpenoids, an example being γ-terpinene. An isomer of this compound is 1,3-cyclohexadiene.
The reaction conducted in two steps beginning with the conversion of DMT to the diester dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD): C 6 H 4 (CO 2 CH 3) 2 + 3 H 2 → C 6 H 10 (CO 2 CH 3) 2. In the second step DMCD is further hydrogenated to CHDM: C 6 H 10 (CO 2 CH 3) 2 + 4 H 2 → C 6 H 10 (CH 2 OH) 2 + 2 CH 3 OH. A copper chromite catalyst ...
[1] The general chemical formula of the halogen addition reaction is: C=C + X 2 → X−C−C−X (X represents the halogens bromine or chlorine, and in this case, a solvent could be CH 2 Cl 2 or CCl 4). The product is a vicinal dihalide. This type of reaction is a halogenation and an electrophilic addition.
These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative. [2] 1-Bromohexane undergoes reactions expected of simple alkyl bromides. It can form Grignard reagents. [3] It reacts with potassium fluoride to give the corresponding fluorocarbons. [4]
The silver salt 1 reacts with bromine to form the acyl hypohalite intermediate 2. Formation of the diradical pair 3 allows for radical decarboxylation to form the diradical pair 4, which recombines to form the organic halide 5. The trend in the yield of the resulting halide is primary > secondary > tertiary. [2] [3]
In this molecule, the two methyl groups are in opposing positions of the ring (1,4-), and their cis stereochemistry projects both of these groups toward the same side of the ring. Hence, if forced into the higher energy boat form, these methyl groups are in steric contact, repel one another, and drive the equilibrium toward the chair conformation.
These compounds usually form the -1, +1, +3 and +5 oxidation states. Bromine is intermediate in reactivity between chlorine and iodine, and is one of the most reactive elements. Bond energies to bromine tend to be lower than those to chlorine but higher than those to iodine, and bromine is a weaker oxidising agent than chlorine but a stronger ...
The formation of a brominated phenol (i.e. 2,4,6-tribromophenol) or aniline (i.e. 2,4,6-tribromoaniline) in form of a white precipitate indicates that the unknown was a phenol or aniline. The more unsaturated an unknown is, the more bromine it reacts with, and the less coloured the solution will appear. [1]
