CAS 4354-49-8

α-Oxocyclohexaneacetic acid

Description:

α-Oxocyclohexaneacetic acid, with the CAS number 4354-49-8, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure and the presence of both an α-keto group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both ketones and carboxylic acids, such as acidity due to the carboxylic group and potential reactivity due to the carbonyl group. It is generally a colorless to pale yellow solid or liquid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the cyclohexane ring contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the functional groups enhance its solubility in polar solvents. α-Oxocyclohexaneacetic acid may participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and esterification, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceutical applications. Its unique structure allows for diverse reactivity, which can be exploited in the development of more complex molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks.

2-Cyclohexyl-2-oxoacetic acid

CAS: 4354-49-8

2-Cyclohexyl-2-oxoacetic acid (2C2OA) is a quaternary ammonium salt that has been used in the synthesis of benzyl esters. 2C2OA is also reactive and can be used as an organic solvent. It reacts with Friedel-Crafts reaction to produce enantiomeric cyclohexanones, which are useful for the preparation of acyl halides and hydroxyl groups. 2C2OA is not an acid but can react with inorganic acids to form condensation products. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) will react with 2C2OA to produce cyclohexene and cyclohexanone chlorides, which are both volatile compounds. 2C2OA can also act as an acyl halide by reacting with acyl halides.
