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.
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'. Acid-catalyzed hydration of this completes the synthesis by forming the tertiary alcohol.
Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 12.Cyclohexane is non-polar.Cyclohexane is a colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products (in which it is sometimes used).
For instance, a bicyclooctane which consists of a six-member ring and a four-member ring, which share two adjacent carbon atoms which form a shared edge, is [4.2.0]-bicyclooctane. That part of the six-member ring, exclusive of the shared edge has 4 carbons. That part of the four-member ring, exclusive of the shared edge, has 2 carbons.
Benzene is converted to cyclohexylbenzene by acid-catalyzed alkylation with cyclohexene. [6] Cyclohexylbenzene is a precursor to both phenol and cyclohexanone. [7]Hydration of cyclohexene gives cyclohexanol, which can be dehydrogenated to give cyclohexanone, a precursor to caprolactam.
Cyclohexanehexone, also known as hexaketocyclohexane and triquinoyl, is an organic compound with formula C 6 O 6, the sixfold ketone of cyclohexane.It is an oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon), a hexamer of carbon monoxide.
Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 11 CO 2 H. It is the carboxylic acid of cyclohexane . It is a colorless oil that crystallizes near room temperature.
