General description

2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanone, mixture of isomers is a clear, light yellow liquid. The adsorption of traces of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone, a volatile organic compound, from liquid toluene was studied. cis- and trans-isomers of 2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanonereacts with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and potassium hydroxide in methanol solution gives cis- and trans-dimethylcyclohexanone oxime .

Application

2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanone was used in tetraoxane synthesis and in evaluation of their anti-malarial activity.

Two tetramethyl-substituted dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (7,8,15, 16-tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]hexadecanes) 3 and 4 were designed as metabolically stable analogues of the dimethyl-substituted dispiro-1, 2,4,5-tetraoxane prototype WR 148999 (2). For a positive control we selected the sterically unhindered tetraoxane 5 (7,8,15, 16-tetraoxadispiro[5.2.5.2]hexadecane), devoid of any substituents.
