Product Information

• Name: 2-Methoxycyclohexanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methoxycyclohexanone is an organic compound that is synthesized by the oxidation of cyclohexanone with an oxidation catalyst. The asymmetric synthesis of 2-methoxycyclohexanone from cyclohexanone can be achieved using a phosphotungstic acid as the catalyst. The hydrochloric acid and hydroxyl group present in this reaction solution are used to catalyze the hydrogenation of 2-methoxycyclohexanone, which yields cyclohexanol. This reaction mechanism involves metal hydroxides and hydrogen bonds to form a carbonyl group. The symptoms of exposure to 2-methoxycyclohexanone include irritation, cough, sore throat, and chest tightness.
