Product Information
- 1-(Nitromethyl)cyclohexanol
1-Nitromethyl-1-cyclohexanol is an alcohol that can be synthesized from nitroalkanes and sodium salts. It is an efficient method for the synthesis of β-unsaturated aldehydes, which are used in the production of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. In this process, 1-nitromethyl-1-cyclohexanol reacts with carbonyl groups to form imines, yielding a chiral product. Nitroalkanes are also converted to nitroaromatics or amines by 1-nitromethyl-1-cyclohexanol under organocatalytic conditions. This synthesis is catalyzed by zinc bromide or calcium chloride, which reduces the risk of explosion due to contact with water.
