Cyclohexene synthesis from cyclohexanol

Of special interest for petrochemical and organic synthesis is the implementation of thermodynamically hindered reactions, among which incomplete benzene hydrogenation or incomplete cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene dehydrogenation should be mentioned. Cost-effective methods of cyclohexene production would stimulate the creation of new processes of phenol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexene oxide, pyrocatechol synthesis, cyclohexadiene application in synthetic rubber production, and a possibility for designing caprolactam synthesis from cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene via combined epoxidation. At present, the most... 

Recognizing that cyclohexene may be prepared by dehydration of cyclohexanol a prac tical synthesis of cyclohexane from cyclohexanol becomes apparent... 

Cyclohexene will undergo an ozonolysis reaction to yield adipic acid upon oxidative workup. Cyclohexene is produced from cyclohexanol by a dehydration (elimination) reaction. The synthesis of adipic acid from cyclohexanol is...
