472-68-4

Usage

Structure

Cyclohexene ring with a carboxylic acid group on the first carbon and three methyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms.

Derivative of cyclohexene

Yes
The compound is derived from cyclohexene, which is a hydrocarbon with a cyclohexane ring and a double bond between two of the carbons.

Carboxylic acid group

Present
The compound contains a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the first carbon of the cyclohexene ring.

Trimethyl designation

Due to the presence of three methyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms.
The three methyl groups (CH3) attached to the adjacent carbon atoms give the compound its trimethyl designation.

Relevant academic research and scientific papers

Novel domino reactions for diterpene synthesis

New types of concerted domino acylation-cycloalkylation/alkylation- cycloacylation reactions have been described. These processes promoted by methanesulfonic acid-phosphorus pentoxide and concentrated H2SO 4, respectively, provide efficient, elegant, and expeditious routes for biologically active naturally occurring diterpenoids, namely (±)-ferruginol (1), (±)-nimbidiol (2), (±)-nimbiol (3), (±)-totarol (4), and ar-abietatriene (5).
