Reactions of Cyclohexanol
« on: March 01, 2005, 12:40:11 AM »
In my lab we must run three reactions on an alcohol, I was assigned cyclohexanol. Two of these reactions can be ones we have already perfeformed in lab. I have chosen dehydration to cyclohexene and oxidation to cyclohexanone. For my final reaction I can either run another experiement from my starting material or from either of my two products. Do you have any suggestions of a reaction that I probably have not performed and wont take a lot of time (less than 5 hours) to complete?
Thanks for your time and suggestions.

You can change it to a halide.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

You can eliminate water or oxidize it to adipic acid.

You could do a coupling reaction with an acid to make an ester.

You could also do a Williamson ether synthesis.
