4-Methyl-4-phenylpentanoic acid

CAS: 4408-55-3

4-Methyl-4-phenylpentanoic acid is an organic compound that is used as a starting material in the preparation of other compounds. It reacts with cobaltic oxide (CoO) to form an organometallic complex. The mechanism for this reaction has been studied and it was found that the oxidation of 4-methyl-4-phenylpentanoic acid proceeds via a stepwise oxidation process. This reaction is substantiated by the formation of two products, one from each oxidation step. The mechanistic pathway for this reaction can be summarized as follows:

1) 4-methyl-4-phenylpentanoic acid + CoO → [Co(CH)]
2) [Co(CH)] + O → [Co(OH)] + CH3CHO
3) [Co(OH)] → HO + CO2
4) CO2 → CO + H2O
