Acrylic Acid → Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the synthesis mechanism of cyclohexyl phenyl ketone, a [2+4] Diels-Alder reaction using a 1,3-butadiene and an acrylic acid is carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent under the condition that no side reaction occurs, to prepare a 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid. The 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid is subjected to a hydrogenation reaction to yield a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid with a high conversion rate.
