Chemistry:Cyclooctanol

From HandWiki

Cyclooctanol is an organic compound with the formula (CH

)
7
CHOH
or C
8
H
15
OH
. It is a colorless oily liquid with a pleasant odor. The molecule consists of 8-membered cyclooctane ring in which one of its hydrogen atoms is replaced by a hydroxyl group.

Synthesis

Cyclooctanol can be obtained by hydrolysis of cyclooctyl formate.[1]

Cyclooctanol can also be synthesized by oxidation of cyclooctane by hydrogen peroxide with polyoxometalates as catalysts in acetonitrile. The reaction byproducts are cyclooctanone and cyclooctyl hydroperoxide.[2][3]

Properties

It has been investigated how cyclooctanol behaves under high pressure. At around 0.4 GPa cyclooctanol becomes a solid, which is in the form of plastic crystals. At around 1.1 GPa, it becomes a normal ordered crystal phase. These phase transitions are reversible.[4]

Under high pressure, new solid phase of cyclooctanol (phase III) is discovered and characterized as a normal crystal phase, and all other solid phases (I, II, IV) are characterized as plastic crystal phases.[5]

Reactions

Cyclooctanol reacts with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride to give fluorocyclooctane and cyclooctene.[6]
