Reaction equation

[CH:1]1([C:7]([OH:9])=[O:8])[CH2:6][CH2:5][CH2:4][CH2:3][CH2:2]1.[CH:10]1(CO)[CH2:15]CCC[CH2:11]1>[Sn]=O.C(O)(C)C>[CH:10]([C:1]1([C:7]([OH:9])=[O:8])[CH2:6][CH2:5][CH2:4][CH2:3][CH2:2]1)([CH3:15])[CH3:11]

Participants

Procedure

The reaction between cyclohexane carboxylic acid and isopropanol was conducted under the same conditions as in Example 1, except that 1 g of hydrous tin oxide catalyst prepared in Example C was used in place of 2 g of the hydrous zirconium oxide catalyst used in Example 1. It was discovered by gas chromatography that cyclohexyl methanol was formed at a conversion rate of 95% and selectivity of 39%. Isopropyl cyclohexane carboxylic acid was also obtained as a by-product in an amount of 41%.
