Cyclohexene oxide is a cycloaliphatic epoxide. It can react in cationic polymerization to poly(cyclohexene oxide). As cyclohexene is monovalent, poly(cyclohexene oxide) is a thermoplastic.
Production
Cyclohexene oxide is produced in epoxidation reaction from cyclohexene. The epoxidation can take place either in a homogeneous reaction by peracids[2] or heterogeneous catalysis (e.g. silver and molecular oxygen).[3][4][5]
In industrial production the heterogeneously catalyzed synthesis is preferred because of better atom economy, a simpler separation of the product and easier recycling of the (consumed) catalyst. A short overview and an investigation of the oxidation of cyclohexene by hydrogen peroxide is given in the literature.[6] In recent times the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene by (immobilized) metalloporphyrin complexes has been found to be an efficient way.[7][8]
Properties and reactions
Cyclohexene has been studied extensively by analytical methods.[9] Cyclohexene oxide can be polymerized in solution, catalyzed by a solid acid catalyst.[10]
Application
One of the known uses is in the synthesis of bromadoline.
