Abstract:
Bis(4-butoxycarbonylaminocyclohexyl) methane (H12 MDU) was prepared using dicyclohexylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and 1-butanol as raw materials and two solid products A and B were obtained. The structures of the two solid products were characterized separately by melting point measurement, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, NMR spectrum analysis and mass spectrum analysis. The results show that both A and B are the target products H12 MDU. The solid A is trans-trans-H12 MDU while the solid B is a mixture including trans-trans-Hiz MDU and at least one of cis-trans-H12MDU and cis-cis-H12 MDU.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Mass Spectrometry: Cycloalkane Fragmentation
For example, cyclohexane molecular ions have a mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of 84, which tends to produce a stronger signal than linear alkanes like hexane. This stability comes from...
