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]
Propargyl alcohol, or 2-propyn-1-ol, is an organic compound with the formula C 3 H 4 O. It is the simplest stable alcohol containing an alkyne functional group. [ 3 ] Propargyl alcohol is a colorless viscous liquid that is miscible with water and most polar organic solvents.
The term benzylic is used to describe the position of the first carbon bonded to a benzene or other aromatic ring. For example, (C 6 H 5 )(CH 3 ) 2 C + is referred to as a "benzylic" carbocation. The benzyl free radical has the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 • .
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.
Glyoxal was first prepared and named by the German-British chemist Heinrich Debus (1824–1915) by reacting ethanol with nitric acid. [4] [5]Commercial glyoxal is prepared either by the gas-phase oxidation of ethylene glycol in the presence of a silver or copper catalyst (the Laporte process) or by the liquid-phase oxidation of acetaldehyde with nitric acid.
1-Hexanol (IUPAC name hexan-1-ol) is an organic alcohol with a six-carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 5 OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with diethyl ether and ethanol .
Benzil (i.e. Bz 2, systematically known as 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione) is the organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 5 CO) 2, generally abbreviated (PhCO) 2. This yellow solid is one of the most common diketones. Its main use is as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry. [4]
