Propylene Oxide → 2-(1-Cyclohexylpropoxy)-2-methylpropyl propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The following compounds of Examples 6 and 7 were prepared analogously to the methods described under Example 1, except that the alcohol component used was 2-cyclohexyl-2-propanol, which can be prepared from cyclohexylmagnesium chloride and acetone by a Grignard reaction, instead of 1-cyclohexyl-1-ethanol. Furthermore, propylene oxide was used instead of isobutylene oxide. The esterification was carried out with acetic anhydride (Example 6) or propionic anhydride (Example 7). Thus, only the spectroscopic data are given at this point:
