Acetic Anhydride → 1-Cyclohexyl-1-methylethyl propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The following compounds were prepared analogously to the method described in Example 16, except that the alcohol component used was 2-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl)-2-propanol, [which can be prepared from methylmagnesium chloride and 1-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl)-ethanone by a Grignard reaction] instead of 2-cyclohexyl-2-propanol. The esterification was carried out with acetic anhydride (Example 18) or propionic anhydride (Example 19). Thus, only the spectroscopic data are indicated at this point:
