i was wondering if anyone knew what conditions are required to go from
1-methylcyclohexene to trans-2-methycyclohexanol
i tried oxymercuration, but it doesnt give me the trans molecule. thanks!
wouldnt H2SO4 and heat give me 1-methylcyclohexanol?
i mean h2so4, heat and water gives me 1-methylcyclohexanol (methyl and OH on the same carbon)
another question. is it possible to synthesize 2-butyne from trans-2-butene? i thought you would need a halide on the butene, but the problem im looking at doesnt have anything like that.
