Question

reaction of cis 2-amino-cyclohexanol with HNO2

Answer 1

?........................?

Answer 2

The reaction of cis 2-amino-cyclohexanol with HNO2 will produce cyclohexanone.

Explanation:

• When cis-2-Aminocyclohexanol undergoes treatment with nitrous acid They undergo a pinacol rearrangement.

• They start yielding both cyclohexanone and cyclopentyl methanal as products.

• The pinacol rearrangement is a rearrangement for converting a 1,2-diol to a carbonyl compound.

• In organic chemistry it is very often used.

• Here the 1,2-rearrangement takes place under acidic conditions.

• This name of the rearrangement comes from the rearrangement that takes place from pinacol to pinacolone.
