Synthesis Problem -- Adding ch3oh concentrated H2SO4
« on: August 05, 2020, 06:09:33 AM »
Hello,
 
Why this reaction resulted as in the figure, and why COOH turned into OH? Does anyone know name of this reaction, so i can research about it.

Can you maybe rotate the product structure?

The reactant you showed is a derivative of cyclohexane, whereas the product is a derivative of benzene.  One of the two is very likely to be a transcription error.
