About this document
Cyclohexanol Dehydration to Cyclohexene by Twas Anassin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes a two-part experiment involving the dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene and the oxidation of cyclohexene to adipic acid. In part one, cyclohexanol is dehydrated using phosphoric acid to produce cyclohexene, which is purified via distillation. In part two, cyclohexene is oxidized to adipic acid using a phase transfer catalyst and hydrogen peroxide, providing a "greener" alternative to industrial oxidation methods. The experiment takes approximately 6 hours to complete.
