Yes, it can be synthesized by six membered ring precursors as follows . Hydration of substituted cyclohexene in acidic medium gives the corresponding product.
Another method from cyxlohexanone also gives same product as diastereomers.
Assume that the compound depicted above was formed under acidic conditions, was the major product obtained...
Please be detailed and draw structures if needed and everything. I really need to understand this. Me OH Me Compound name: 1,2-dimethylcyclohexan-1-ol The compound depicted to the left could be the product of any acidic hydration reaction Question 2: Assume that the compound depicted above was formed under acidic conditions, was the najor product obtained after purification (-70%), and was isolated as a mixture of diastereomers. Is it possible to know with absolute certainty that the immediate precursor featured the...
