Description

2-Methylcyclohexanone is an organic compound that is a colorless liquid at room temperature. It is classified as an enolate and has the chemical formula of CH3COCHO. The asymmetric synthesis of 2-methylcyclohexanone can be achieved by adding sodium ethoxide to ethyl formate in the presence of anhydrous sodium. This method produces a 1,3-diketone that can be hydrolyzed to give 2-methylcyclohexanone. Hydrogen bonding interactions between the methyl group and the carbonyl group are important for the stability of this molecule. The solubility data for 2-methylcyclohexanone ranges from 0.015 g/mL at 20 °C to 0.05 g/mL at 100 °C. Activation energies for this molecule range from -2.4 kcal/mol to -1.9 kcal/mol, with a viscosity of 8 cP at
