Product Information

• Name: 4-Methylcyclohexanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methylcyclohexanone is a diazonium salt that has been shown to be an intramolecular hydrogen-bonded substrate for the hydroxyl group. It has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of 2,4-diaminobenzoic acid (2,4-DABA) and 3,5-diaminoquinoxaline (3,5-DQNX). 4-Methylcyclohexanone is also used in the production of herbicides and other organic compounds. The reaction mechanism can be explained by considering that 4-methylcyclohexanone is an electron donor with two hydroxyl groups. One of these groups will react with a diazonium salt to provide the α-hydroxyimine intermediate. This intermediate then reacts with another molecule of cyclohexanone to yield the desired product. A typical example of this mechanism is shown below:The acetate
