Hydration reaction mechanism from 1-methylcyclohexene to 1-methylcyclohexanol. Many alternative routes are available for producing alcohols, including the hydroboration–oxidation reaction , the oxymercuration–reduction reaction , the Mukaiyama hydration , the reduction of ketones and aldehydes and as a biological method fermentation .
Professor David Todd at Pomona College was testing the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol or 4-methylcyclohexanol c. 1994 and unexpectedly interrupted the alkene distillation midway to have lunch with his secretary, Evelyn Jacoby. After lunch, he continued his distillation but kept the early products separate from the completed ones.
Cyclohexanol is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobalt catalysts: [5]. 2 C 6 H 12 + O 2 → 2 C 6 H 11 OH. This process coforms cyclohexanone, and this mixture ("KA oil" for ketone-alcohol oil) is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid.
Most methylcyclohexane is extracted from petroleum but it can be also produced by catalytic hydrogenation of toluene: CH 3 C 6 H 5 + 3 H 2 → CH 3 C 6 H 11. The hydrocarbon is a minor component of automobile fuel, with its share in US gasoline varying between 0.3 and 1.7% in early 1990s [10] and 0.1 to 1% in 2011. [11]
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.
1-Ethynylcyclohexanol (ECX) is an alkynyl alcohol derivative which is both a synthetic precursor to, and an active metabolite of the tranquilizer ethinamate, and has similar sedative, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant effects. It has been sold as a designer drug, first being identified in the UK in March 2012. [1] [2] [3] [4]
m-Cresol is a precursor to numerous compounds.Important applications include: pesticides such as fenitrothion and fenthion; synthetic vitamin E by methylation to give 2,3,6-trimethylphenol [3]
Although some sources assert that there remains a lack of knowledge on which antibiotic use generates the most risk to humans, [47] policies and regulations have been placed to limit any harmful effects, such as the potential of bacteria developing antibiotic resistance within livestock, and that bacteria transferring resistance genes to human ...
