1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexan-1-ol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Compounds of this type may be prepared from isophorone utilizing the methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,270,044 and 3,352,913 to form an amino methyl cyclohexanol which is then reacted with a carboxylic acid in a fusion cook by heating stoichiometric quantities of the amine and the acid until molten and stirring the molten mixture with a nitrogen sweep to drive off water vapor. The progress of the reaction is stopped when an acid number just below theoretical is obtained. Similarly, the carboxylate derivative can be formed from a hydroxymethyl cyclohexanol. below theoretical is obtained
