SOME STUDENT EXPERIMENTS in and out of the CYCLOPARAFFIN SERIES E. C. WAGNER University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The nine experiments presented belov use cyclohexanol as the starting material and illustrate a number of functional reactions which are met in both the aliphatic and the alicyclic series. They may be used as optional relacements for corresponding exfieriments commonly performed with aliphatic compounds, with a consequent increase in the ~arietyand scope of the laboratory exercises and in the student's appreciation of the generality of certain reactions. There are exemfilified also the following more profuund structural changes: (1) ring-rupture, m'th @sage from the alicyclic to the aliphatic series, (2) ring-closure,with passage from the aliphatic to the alicyclic series, and (3) the passage from the cyclofarafin to the aromatic series by introduction of three double bonds. These instructiere exercises are not ordinarily included in elementary laboratory courses. They require no special apparatus and are well m'thin the manipulative abilities of undergraduate students.

Incidental to the immediate purpose of experiment 3 is the f a d that the oxidation involves ring-rupture with formation of an aliphatic compound; since cyclohexanol is prepared by hydrogenation of phenol there is illustrated here the passage from the aromatic to the aliphatic series.

INTRODUCTION OF AN OLEFINIC BOND BY REMOVAL OF THE ELEMENTS O F WATER FROM AN ALCOHOL; THE PREPARATION OF CYCLOHEXENE FROM CYCWHEXANOL

Dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene by catalytic action of a small amount of sulfuric acid was reported by Senderens (3), whose method was used by Osterberg and Kendall (4), and appears also in "Organic Syntheses" (5). Other dehydrating agents are discussed by Osterberg and Kendall. Boudroux (6) obtained high yields by use of phosphoric acid at 160". The dehydration may be effected also by gasphase catalysis using alumina, etc. P R O C E D ~ : Follow the directions given in "Organic Syntheses" (5). Use 30 grams of cydohexanol and 1 cc. of conc. sulfuric acid in a 200-cc. flask surmounted by a short fractionating column, with condenser attached (no thermometer is required a t the head of the column). After drying the product as described, distil it from the original apparatus (with thermometer now in place), collecting the fraction which boils 82-8.3.7" car. The yield is about 70%.

The complete purification of cyclohexene was described by Waterman and van Westen (7), who found the boiling point to be 82.8'. Material made by the above method, after two distillations through a 3-ball Snyder column, boiled 83-83.2' cor. The unsaturation of cyclohexene is readily shown by the usual tests. (2) THE OXIDATION O F A SECONDARY ALCOHOL TO A KETONE; THE PREPARATION O F CYCLOHEXANONE FROM CYCLOHEXANOL Oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone by means of chromic acid was outlined by Baeyer (8). The procedure was improved by Osterberg and Kendall (4), whose method is given below essentially unchanged. P R O C E D ~ : Transfer 25 grams of cyclohexanol to a 200-cc. flask, and chill in ice.

With the same orecautions add in 2 cc. portions a cooled solution of 25 grnms of sodium dichromate and 9 ec. of conc. sulfuric acid in 40 cc of water; this should require about an hour. Attach a reflu condenser, and heat the mixture for two hours on a water-hath. Cool the liquid, and extract with about 100 cc. of ether, used in three portions. Dry the ether extracts with anhydrous potassium carbonate, a t e r with suction to remove the bulky mass of drying agent, and transfer the extract to the flask of a fractionating outfit. Distil off the ether, and fractionate the residue slowly, collecting as cydohexasone the fraction boiling from 150 ~~

The yield of cyclohexanone is about 75% of the theoretical. The pure compound boils at 156.7' cor., and has the specific gravity 0.949 (=O/r). Cyclohexanone may be identified by preparation of the 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazone (m. p. 160") as described for cyclopentanone in experiment 5, or of the oxime (m. p. 88') prepared as described in experiment 8.

THE OXIDATION OF A SECONDARY ALCOHOL TO A CARBOXYLIC ACID VIA THE KETONE; PREPARATION OF ADIPIC Acm FROM CYCWHEXANOL

When cyclohexanol is oxidized more strongly than in experiment 2 the iirst-formed ketone is attacked in typical manner, with rupture of the carbon chain between the carbonyl carbon and an adjacent carbon atom, both of which are oxidized to carboxyl groups. The main product is adipic acid, HOOC(CHJ4COOH. Smaller amounts of several lower acids (glntaric, succinic, oxalic, and apparently monocarboxylic acids also) are formed as a result of incidental ring-rupture at other points. The same iinal results will be obtained whether the starting material is cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone. Oxidation by nitric acid was described by Bouveanlt and Locquin (9). An improvement of the method was patented by the Dentsche Hydrierwerke A.-G. and is now given in "Organic Syntheses" (10). Trials have shown the permanganate oxidation method of Mannich and Hancu (11) to be more convenient for preparation of small amounts of adipic acid. The oxidation, conducted in a large volume of water, is a mild reaction which requires no regulation nor provision for the disposal of toxic fumes. The modified procedure of Braun and Lemke (12), using a restricted volume (with efficient stirring, control of temperature, and gradual addition of solid permanganate), was found to offer no real advantage over the simpler method of Mannich and Hancn. The yield by permanganate oxidation (80% or more) is distinctly higher than by nitric acid oxidation (about 60%), but the latter method is more useful for preparation of larger quantities of adipic acid. P R O C E D ~ E : To a solution of 15 grams of sodium carbonate in 300 cc. of water in a 2-liter flask add 20 grams of cydohexanol. During about 15 minutes introduce a cooled solution of 90 g r a m s of potassium permanganate in 1500 cc. of water. Allow the mixture to stand a t room temperature, with occasional shaking, f o r several days. Filter with suction, extract the mass of hydrated manganese dioxide with water, and evaporate the combined filtrates rapidly t o a volume of a b u t 200 cc. Filter if not dear. transfer to a beaker on which the 150-cc.level has been marked. and evaporate t o this volume.

PROCEDURE: Provide a dry 250-cc.flask with a two-hole stopper carrying a small dropping funnel and a calcium chloride tube. the latter connected with a sodium hydroxide trap. Weigh 25 grams of cyclohexanol into the flask, cool in ice. and add drop by drop from the funnel 34 grams (1.5 times theory) of phosphorus tribromide,* with thorough mixing and continual chilling; the reaction mixture should he kept near 0 4 t o minimize formation of cyclohexeue.

Claisen flask and distil under reduced pressure.

Reported boiling points for various pressures are as follows: 113-116° (150 mm.), 69-71' (30 mm.), 61-62" (20mm.), 52.5" (13.5 mm.) (27), (28), (29), (31).

165.5" (I.C.T.), but with partial decomposition. The yield is 80% or more; it is decreased by formation of some cyclohexylphosphite (29). Cyclohexylbromide resembles the alkyl halides of comparable molecular weight in odor, etc., though the bromine atom (unlike that in cyclopentyl- or cycloheptylbromide) is firmly held (32). With magnesium cyclohexylbromide yields the Grignard compound (together with some cyclohexene and dicyclohexyl) and this can be used in familiar ways. By action of dry carbon dioxide there can be obtained good yields of cyclohexanecarboxylic (hexahydrobenzoic) acid (33). (7) THE SATURATION OF AN OLEFINIC BOND BY HALOGEN; THE PREPARATION OF 1,2-DIBROMOCYCLOHEXANE PROM CYCLOHEXENE

The compound 1,Z-dibromocyclohexane is best prepared by saturation of cyclohexene with bromine; attempts to obtain it by direct brominatiou of cyclohexylbromide were not successful (34). P R O C E D ~ E : Follow the directions given in "Organic Syntheses" (35), using one-fifth the quantities specified. Use for the reaction a 500-cc. flask; the mechanical stirrer may be omitted, the reaction mixture being shaken by hand during the addition. Reported bailing points a t various pressures (other than that stated) are as fallows: 145-6" (100 mm.). 116' (29 mm.), 101-2' (13 mm.). The compound cannot he distilled under ordinary pressure.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DOUBLE BONDS BY ABSTRACTION OF HYDROGEN BROMIDE; CYCLOHEXADIENE AND BENZENE PROM 1,z-DIBROMOCYCLOHEXANE

This interesting series of reactions was described by Crossley (36). It involves removal of 2HBr from dibromocyclohexane by heating with quinoline, partial saturation of the conjugate system of the resulting cyclohexadiene by bromine (l,Caddition), and finally the removal of 2HBr by means of quinoline, with introduction of a second and third double bond and formation of benzene. The experiment is instructive and is manipulatively simple, though the yields are small. The quinoline can be recovered. An outline of the procedure follows. Upon heating 1,2-dibromocyclohexane with twice its weight of quinoline to 178' hydrogen bromide is removed, and the distillate, collected up to 100°, consists largely of cyclohexadiene-1,3.* After redistillation from some quinoline, washing with dilute sulfuric acid, drying with calcium chloride, and distillation from sodium, the product boils at 81.5-82'. The yield is rather small. Cyclohexadiene polymerizes in sunlight, becoming viscous, and takes up atmospheric oxygen to form (eventually) an explosive sirup. When cyclohexadiene-l,3 in chilled chloroform solution is treated very slowly with one mol of bromine in chloroform, there occurs vigorous addition of the 1-btype once regarded as characteristic of conjugated

systems. Upon evaporation of the solvent, and reaystallizatiou of the residue from ligroin, there is obtained 1,4-dibromocyclohexene-2, a crystalline solid of melting point 108-9'. By heating 1,4-dibromocyclohexene-Zwith twice its weight of quinoline as outlined above, the distillate up to 90" consists largely of benzene, which after drying The yield is with calcium chloride distils at 80-1'. small, but the product is readily recognized. To identify with certainty, 3 drops may be converted into m-dinitrobenzene, m. p. 8g0, as described by Mulliken (37). (8)

THE PREPARATION OF CYCLOHEXANONE-OXIME FROM CYCLOHEXANONE

Preparation of this oxime has been described by Baeyer (a), Osterberg and Kendall (4), and in "Organic Syntheses" (38); yields are uniformly high. The procedure given below is that of Osterberg and Kendall. PROCEDURE: Chill in ice a mixture of 10 nrams of cvdoheranone, 10 grams of sodium bicarbonate, and 35 cc. of water. Dissolve 7.1 grams of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 15 cc. of water, and add in small portions t o the ketone mixture, with stirring and chilling. Allow to stand for about an hour in ice, and filter off the separated oxime. Wash twice with ice water, and dry in a vacuum desiccator or in the air. The yield is about 10 prams, or nearly 90%. To purify the product dissolve it in boiling ligroin, using 4 cc. for each gram of oxime, and chill the solution in ice. The yield of pure oxime (m. p. 8SC)is about 75%.

(9) THE AMINE;

REDUCTION O P AN OXIME TO A PRIMARY THE PREPARATION O F CYCLOHEXYLAMINE PROM CYCLOHEXANONE-OXIME

Cyclohexylamine has been made by catalytic hydrogenation of. aniline (39), (40), of cyclohexanone-hydrazone (41), of cyclohexanone-oxime (42), and also by action of liquid ammonia upon cyclohexanol (43). The best laboratory method is the chemical reduction of the oxime by sodium and alcohol. Earlier procedures (4), (8) use a large excess of sodium and alcohol, but state no yields. The procedure of "Organic Syntheses" (44) for reduction of heptaldehyde-oxime (and recommended also for other oximes including that of cyclohexanone) specifies a more moderate excess of reducing agent. The similar reduction of menthoneoxime (45) requires even less sodium, and the same conditions were found to serve for preparation of cyclohexylamine more economically and in satisfactory yield.

PROCEDURE: Follow the directions given in "Organic Syn. 10 grams of cyclohexanonetheses" (44). Use a 5 0 0 ~ flask, oaime, 150 cc. of dehydrated alcohol, and 15 grams of sodium. If any sodium remains undissolved, add finally a little more alcohol. I n the receiver for the steam distillate put 20 cc. of 6N hydrochloric acid; after the distillation evaporate this liquid to dryness, dry a t 100; and weigh the crystalline residue as crude cyclohexylamine hydrochloride.

(b) To obtain cyclohexylamine (the base) dissolve the crude hydrochloride in about 10 cc. of water, make alkaline with strong sodium hydroxide solution, and extract the separated amine in ether. Dry the extract thoroughly over solid sodium or potassium hydroxide,* transfer the ether solution to the flask of a fractionating ouffit, and distil off the ether. When the temperature of distillation exceeds 125', attach as receiver a small side-arm flask (tared) with the outlet protected by a soda-lime tuhe (cycloheaylamine absorbs carbon dioxide readily from the air). Collect as product the portion which boils 13W5". The yield is about 55%.t With the least possible exposure to the air transfer the product, through a miniature thistle-tube, to a small sealing bottle.

Cyclohexylamine is a strong organic base with ammoniacal odor. The boiling point is variously given (B.), values ranging from 130 to 13S0.

This picrate has apparently not been reported hitherto.

As an alternative experiment, menthone-oxime (46) mav he reduced to menthvlamine (45). This is removed by steam distillation; as in &above procedure, and the distillate liquid concentrated to about 100 cc., filtered, evaporated further to 50 cc., and chilled.
