Cyclohexene is a hydrocarbon with the formula (CH 2) 4 C 2 H 2. It is an example of a cycloalkene. At room temperature, cyclohexene is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Among its uses, it is an intermediate in the commercial synthesis of nylon. [3]
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 .

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 .
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.
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 .
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'.
