CAS 22945-27-3: Cyclohexanecarboxamide,2-oxo-

2-Oxocyclohexanecarboxamide is a pyridinium salt that can be used as a nucleophile in substitution reactions. It reacts with thiourea to form the cyclic compound 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxamide. This reaction is catalyzed by refluxing and forms the acrylonitrile, which can be converted to an amide with xylene and amines. This reaction yields more than 95% of the desired product. The translation process for this compound is cyclic, forming a six-membered ring with two double bonds. 2-Oxocyclohexanecarboxamide has been shown to react with nucleophiles such as amines and formylation to produce amino acid derivatives.
