Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is the organic compound with the formula C6H11CO2H or C6H11COOH. It is the carboxylic acid of cyclohexane. It is a colorless oil that crystallizes near room temperature.[2]
Preparation and reactions
[edit]It is prepared by hydrogenation of benzoic acid.
Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is a precursor to the nylon-6 precursor caprolactam via its reaction with nitrosylsulfuric acid. It can also be oxidized to cyclohexene.[2]
Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid exhibits the reactions typical of carboxylic acids, including its conversion to the acid chloride cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride using thionyl chloride[3] or oxalyl chloride[4] and to various other acyl derivatives either directly or by way of the acyl halide.
Biochemistry
[edit]Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is a product in the metabolism of benzoic acid in certain microorganisms.[5] In rat models, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was found to have anti-convulsant acitvity in a manner similar to valproic acid.[6]
