General description

Cyclopropanemethanol (Cyclopropyl carbinol, CPMO), a cycloalkanemethanol, is an anaesthetic. The coupling reaction of cyclopropanemethanol with alkynes to form substituted allylic alcohols has been reported. The microwave spectrum of CPMO has been recorded. Its rotational constants and dipole moment have been determined.

Application

Cyclopropanemethanol may be used in the preparation of:
  • cyclopropanecarbaldehyde
  • cyclopropylmethylsulfonate
  • dibenzyl cyclopropylmethyl phosphate

N-alkanols containing up to 12 carbons are anesthetic; however, those with more than 12 carbons are not. This phenomenon has been termed cutoff. Lipid disordering theories of anesthesia suggest that cutoff occurs because the alkyl chains of long-chain alcohols approach

A profoundly time-efficient chemoenzymatic method for the synthesis of (S)-3-(4-chlorophenoxy)propan-1,2-diol and (S)-1-chloro-3-(2,5-dichlorophenoxy)propan-2-ol, two important pharmaceutical intermediates, was successfully developed using Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL). Kinetic resolution was successfully achieved using vinyl acetate as acylating agent, toluene/hexane as solvent, and reaction
