In its main industrial use, this compound reacts photochemically with nitrosyl chloride to form an oxime that rearranges to generate the Nylon precursor caprolactam.
In its main industrial use, this compound reacts photochemically with nitrosyl chloride to form an oxime that rearranges to generate the Nylon precursor caprolactam. Though the proton NMR spectrum of a mostly-deuterated derivative of this compound resolves into two signals at around negative 90 degrees Celsius, the spectrum for this compound itself is just a single peak at 1.43 ppm. This compound eliminates the steric strain caused by the proximity of two "flagpole hydrogens" by undergoing a very low energy 10.8 kilocalorie "pseudorotation." Each carbon of this compound is bound to one "axial" and one "equatorial" hydrogen in its most stable configuration. Fully hydrogenating benzene yields this compound. The "boat" is less favorable than the "chair" conformation of, for 10 points, what cycloalkane with formula C6H12?
