The resulting sodium salt of 1-(nitromethyl)cyclohexanol is added to acetic acid and shaken with hydrogen gas in the presence of W-4 Raney nickel catalyst. Sodium nitrite and acetic acid are then added to give cycloheptanone. [5] Cycloheptanone is also prepared by ring expansion of cyclohexanone with diazomethane as the methylene source. [5]
Neosporol is a natural product that includes a 1,3-dioxolane moiety, and is an isomer of sporol which has a 1,3-dioxane ring. [9] The total synthesis of both compounds has been reported, and each includes a step in which a dioxolane system is formed using trifluoroperacetic acid (TFPAA), prepared by the hydrogen peroxide – urea method.
1,4-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (CO) 2. This white solid is one of the three isomeric cyclohexanediones . This particular diketone is used as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules.
Cyclohexanone is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobalt catalysts: [11]. C 6 H 12 + O 2 → (CH 2) 5 CO + H 2 O. This process forms cyclohexanol as a by-product, and this mixture, called "KA Oil" for ketone-alcohol oil, is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid.
Several routes exist for the production of cyclohexenone. For the laboratory scale, it can be produced from resorcinol via 1,3-cyclohexanedione. [6] Cyclohexenone is obtained by Birch reduction of anisole followed by acid hydrolysis. It can be obtained from cyclohexanone by α-bromination followed by treatment with base.
This process coforms cyclohexanone, and this mixture ("KA oil" for ketone-alcohol oil) is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid. The oxidation involves radicals and the intermediacy of the hydroperoxide C 6 H 11 O 2 H. Alternatively, cyclohexanol can be produced by the hydrogenation of phenol: C 6 H 5 OH + 3 H 2 → C 6 H 11 OH
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 ...
Adipic acid is produced by oxidation of a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, which is called KA oil, an abbreviation of ketone-alcohol oil. Nitric acid is the oxidant. The pathway is multistep. Early in the reaction, the cyclohexanol is converted to the ketone, releasing nitrous acid: HOCH(CH 2) 5 + HNO 3 → O=C(CH 2) 5 + HNO 2 + H 2 O
