4-Methylcyclohexene is an organic compound consisting of cyclohexene with a methyl group substituent attached to carbon most distant from the alkene group. Two other structural isomers are known: 1-methylcyclohexene and 3-methylcyclohexene .
Cyclohexene is produced by the partial hydrogenation of benzene, a process developed by the Asahi Chemical company. [4] The main product of the process is cyclohexane because cyclohexene is more easily hydrogenated than benzene. In the laboratory, it can be prepared by dehydration of cyclohexanol. [5] C 6 H 11 OH → C 6 H 10 + H 2 O
Oxidation of 1-methylcyclohexene catalyzed by cytochrome P450 yields a 2:1 mixture of hydroxylation to epoxidation products. [4] The stereochemistry of hydroformylation has been examined using 1-methylcyclohexene. The main product has the formyl group on the less substituted alkene-carbon, trans with respect to the methyl substituent.
Typical synthesis starts from myrcene [2] and involves a Diels–Alder reaction with acrolein to produce the cyclohexenecarbaldehyde group, this species is marketed as a fragrance in its own right, most commonly under the name 'myrac aldehyde'.
Cyclohexylmethanol is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 11 −CH 2 −OH. It is a cyclohexane ring functionalized with an alcohol , specifically a hydroxymethyl group. The compound is a colorless liquid, although commercial samples can appear yellow.
Hagemann's ester, ethyl 2-methyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexenecarboxylate, is an organic compound that was first prepared and described in 1893 by German chemist Carl Hagemann. The compound is used in organic chemistry as a reagent in the synthesis of many natural products including sterols , trisporic acids , and terpenoids .
With strong bases, the positions 4 and 6 (the two CH 2-groups of the carbonyl group and the C-C double bond adjacent) are deprotonated. Cyclohexenone is an in-vitro catalyst for a relatively mild decarboxylation of alpha amino acids .
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 ...
