Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is obtained by reacting ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid with oxalyl
chloride.Combine
ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol, 172 mg) and oxalyl
chloride (1.2 mmol, 152 mg, 0.103 ml) in dry toluene (5 mL) and add a
drop of freshly distilled DMF. Purge the reaction vessel with argon and
heat the reaction under stirring for 3 h. Stop the stirring, decant the
toluene solution and filter. Evaporate the volatiles. Transform into
crystalline form by trituration with diethyl ether. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) |? 3.18 - 3.12 (m, 2H 2CH) 1.96 - 1.83 (m, 4H 2CH2) 1.57 - 1.49 (m, 4H 2CH2). HRMS (ESI), calcd for C8H10NaO3 [M+Na]+ 175.0522, found 175.0527; calcd for C9H14NaO4 [M+CH3 OH+Na]+ 209.0784, found 209.0788.
