Cyclohept-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid

CAS: 4321-25-9

Cyclohept-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid is a methyl ester. It can be synthesized by the reaction of benzyl chloride, methanol, and bromine in the presence of an alkali metal as a catalyst. The product is then treated with chlorine to give cyclohept-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid. Cyclohept-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid can be used as an esterification agent or as a precursor for other compounds such as tribromocycloheptane, which is used in the synthesis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This compound has been found to react with carbon tetrachloride and trichloromethanes to form chlorocarbon tetrachlorides. Cyclohept-1-ene carboxylic acid may be prepared by reacting benzyl chloride with methanol and
