Compound Q&A
How is 5-Hexynoic acid (CAS: 53293-00-8) typically synthesized?
Answer
5-Hexynoic acid is usually synthesized via the hydration of propargyl alcohol using phosphoric acid as a catalyst, followed by oxidation of the resulting propargyl alcohol to hexynoic acid. The hydrogenation of hexynoic acid can also produce hexanoic acid with high selectivity and good yield.
