1-VINYLCYCLOHEXANOL 97

Uses

1-Vinyl cyclohexanol may be used to synthesize:

• 1-vinyl-1-cyclohexene
• 1-vinyl-1-cyclohexylacrylate
• cyclohexylideneacetaldehyde

General Description

1-Vinyl cyclohexanol, also known as 1-vinyl-1-cyclohexanol, is a tertiary allylic alcohol. It can be synthesized from cyclohexanone and vinyl chloride. It can undergo transition-metal-free tandem allylic borylation in the presence of B₂pin [bis(pinacolato)diboron], Cs₂CO₃, THF and MeOH to yield triborated product. Pd-fullerite catalysts have been prepared which effectively catalyzes the hydrogenation of 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol to 1-vinyl-1-cyclohexanol.
