title: Synthesis and characterization of stereospecific 1-propargyl-2-(dimethoxymethyl)-1-cyclohexanols.
abstract: Stereochemical isomers with hydroxy groups were synthesized by reacting 2-(dimethoxymethyl)cyclohexanone with propargylmagnesium bromide. The stereo chemical structures were identified by NMR spectral interpretation and the geometry optimization. To assist the NMR interpretation, geometry optimization based on semi-empirical AM1 and PM3 methods was applied. Throughout this study, the structures of the two isomers were all determined and 1H and 13C NMR spectra were fully assigned. It was proven that the less polar isomer is an axial alcohol and the more polar one is an equatorial alcohol.
