What is 6-Chlorohexanol?
Chemical properties
clear colorless to pale yellow liquid
The Uses of 6-Chlorohexanol
6-Chloro-1-hexanol is used in the preparation of its corresponding bromide by reaction with sodium bromide using N,N-dimethylformamide and dibromomethane (2:1) as a solvent. It is utilized in the selective elimination of 6-chloro-1-hexene from esters of 6-chloro-1-hexanol.
Preparation
6-Chlorohexanol is obtained from the reaction of 1,6-Hexanediol with hydrochloric acid.
