cyclohexene reaction with methanol with h2s04 as a catalyst
« on: December 05, 2012, 10:38:45 PM »
would this simply yield cyclohexane with an oxygen-methyl substituent? an H from H2so4 would break the double bond and then a carbocation would form and the ch3oh would bond there right?

also could anyone provide me with a link as to where I can see the tempo-mediated oxidation of alcohols mechanism? i have googled with no luck

Yes, methoxycyclohexane.

Really? Second hit on google for "TEMPO oxidation mechanism": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxoammonium-catalyzed_oxidation
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate
