Reaction Steps

A solution of 2 ml of NH3 in 50 ml of methanol is charged into a round bottom flask fitted with a gas inlet tube and a mechanical stirrer. Fitted to the gas inlet tube is an oxygen buret graduated in mls and containing oxygen gas. To this solution is added with stirring 0.015 g of CuCl2 2H2O and 1.5 g of 2,6-dimethyl cyclohexanone. Stirring is continued until all solids had dissolved. A steady stream of oxygen is bubbled into the solution for approximately 16 hours, while the solution is stirred at room temperature. Total oxygen uptake is 63 ml. The methanol solvent is removed by rotary evaporator and the product extracted in by rotary evaporator and the product extracted in ether. The ether layer is concentrated. IR and NMR analysis confirmed the presence of 1-cyano-1-methyl-5-ketohexane.
