Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid → HCID 22564104, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

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%.
