Product Information
3-Oxo-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is a structural isomer of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. It is a white crystalline solid that can react with monoxide to form 3-oxocyclohexane carboxylic acid or with chlorine to form 3-chlorocyclohexane carboxylic acid. The reaction rate and regioselectivity are dependent on the catalyst used. With catalytic amounts of copper and air, 3-oxocyclohexane carboxylic acid is formed preferentially, but when using an excess of copper, the chlorinated product is obtained in higher yields. This reaction occurs because the orthoformic carbon atom has a greater electron density than the meta formic carbon atom. The reaction mechanism begins with oxidation of the metal to form a metal oxide which then reacts with CO to produce CO2 and H2O.
