Abstract

Abstract The Koch-Haaf carboxylation of a series of 1-alkylcyclohexanemethanols and 1-(1- alkylcyclohexane) ethanols has been studied. In the initial cation the 1-alkyl group always migrates into the side chain, yielding tertiary carboxylic acids. An exception is the carboxylation of 1-(1-adamantane) ethanol, which gives the corresponding secondary acid besides 3-ethyladamantanecarboxylic acid. The latter compound is formed probably from ...
