Cyclohexanemethanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

Cyclohexanemethanol used as solvents, fuels . It is also used in pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, surfactants, lubricants, ore floatation agents, hydraulic fluids, and detergents.

Uses

Cyclohexanemethanol (Cyclohexyl methanol) can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, cyclohexanone, and 1,4-cyclohexadione by photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) using titanium dioxide nanoparticles as a catalyst.

Synthesis

To 1 g benzyl alcohol in 40 ml of H20, HRO/Na- β catalyst (50 mg) was added in a reactor vessel. The reactor vessel was then heated at 100 °C for 1 h under H2 pressure (20 bar). After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was separated by using centrifuge and the obtained clear product mixture was analyzed by GC-MS. The reaction gave 100% conversion of benzyl alcohol with 100% yield of Cyclohexanemethanol.
