Trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol

Product name:trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol

CAS:1460-57-7

Molecular Formula:C6H12O2

Molecular Weight:116.16

Product Description:A new and simple chiral auxiliary derived from optically pure 1,2-trans-cyclohexanediol was developed for the asymmetric Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation of substituted allylic alcohols. Excellent yields and diastereoselectivities were obtained with a variety of olefins.
A general protocol for the use of 1,2-trans-cyclohexanediol as a chiral auxiliary for the Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation reaction has been developed.
