Abstract
Abstract Dimethyl-1-cyclohexenylcarbinol ( 1a ) affords a mixture of methylcyclohexane (8%). methylenecyclohexane (2%). 1-methylcyclohexanol (5%). isopropylidenecyclohexane oxide (10%). and 2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-propanol (20%) upon UV irradiation in aqueous t-butyl alcohol with m -xylene as the photosensitizer. Under the same conditions 1-cyclohexenylmethanol ( 1b ) yields methylenecyclohexane oxide (trace), cyclohexylmethanol (20%). and 1-hydroxymethyl-1-cyclohexanol (25%). Possible pathways to these various products are proposed.
