General Description
1-Methyl-1-cyclohexene (2,3,4,5-Tetrahydrotoluene) is a sterically hindered, unactivated alkene.
Environmental Fate
Photolytic. Atkinson (1985) reported a rate constant of 9.45 x 10-11 cm3/molecule?sec for the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with OH radicals in the atmosphere.
Purification Methods
Free it from hydroperoxides by passing through a column containing basic alumina or refluxing with cupric stearate, filter and fractionally distil it from sodium. [Vogel J Chem Soc 1332 1938, Cope et al. J Am Chem Soc 79 4729 1957, Beilstein 5 III 197, 5 VI 245.]
