What is the product of 1-methylcyclohexanol sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

sulphuric acid and sodium dichromate are standard oxidation agents for alcohols. Primary and secondary alcohols behave differently. mixed with ethanol warmed lightly and gently distilled they produce ethanal (an Aldehyde), but put through a reflux distillation they will eventually produce ethanoic acid (vinegar). The only way you can know which you have is by testing with an indicating agent like Fehlings solution, or the smell!!

So the process is as important as the chemicals involved!

However, 2-hexanol is a secondary alcohol, with the OH on the second carbon so 2-hexanol oxidises into 2-hexanone, which is a ketone and therefore can not be oxidised any further.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When cyclohexene reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid, the higher electron density pi-bond, the double bond of cyclohexene, attacks one of the easily donated hydrogens of sulfuric acid and protonates one of the sp2 hybridized carbons. This results that the other carbon that had a double bond becomes a carbocation with an empty p-orbital. The anion that was left from the sulfuric acid after the first step now attacks the carbocation linking the sulfuric anion to the carbon ring.

Conclusion:

The product is Cyclohexyl hydrogen sulfate.

Answer 3

In this reaction you are hydrating an alkene. The double bond is broken and the product is cyclohexanol.

Answer 4

Cyclohexyl sulfate. Draw a hexagon. At five corners of the hexagon, write -CH2-. At the sixth corner write >CH-O-SO3H.

Answer 5

it's an octane ring with an OH group attached

Answer 6

1-methylcyclohexene, water, sulfuric acid

Answer 7

cyclohexanol

Answer 8
