What is 2-Methylcyclohexanol?
Chemical properties
colourless viscous liquid with an aromatic odour. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water.
The Uses of 2-Methylcyclohexanol
2-Methylcyclohexanol is used in the preparation of acetic acid-(2-methyl-cyclohexyl ester) by reaction with acetic anhydride. Further, it is used to study the effect of organic solvents on epoxide hydrolase.
What are the applications of Application
2-Methylcyclohexanol, mixture of cis and trans is used to study the effect of organic solvents on epoxide hydrolase
Reactions
2-methylcyclohexanol undergoes a dehydration reaction when reacted with conc. Sulfuric acid to form a mixture of 1-metyl and 3-methylcyclohexene.
Reactivity Profile
2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of these materials with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fires and explosions. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. They exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire (USCG, 1999).
Purification Methods
Dry 2-methylcyclohexanol with Na2SO4 and fractionate it under vacuum. Note: The cis-isomer has b 165o/760mm, and the trans-isomer has b 166.5o/760mm. [Eliel & Haber J Org Chem 23 2041 1958, Beilstein 6 III 61, 6 IV 100.]
