A 1.4 D11:MR0 Sodium amalgam See also:Boil with See also:water suberyl bromide. Cyclo-heptene, C7H12, is obtained by the See also:action of alcoholic potash on suberyl iodide; and from cyclo-heptane carboxylic acid, the See also:amide of which by the action of sodium hypobromite is converted into cyclo-heptanamine, which, in its turn, is destructively methylated (R. Willstatter, Ber., 1901, 34, 131). Cyclo-heptadiene 1.3, C7H15, is obtained from cyclo-heptene (Willstatter, loc. cit.). It is identical with the hydrotropilidine, which results by the destructive methylation of tropane. Euterpene (trimethyl-I.4.4-cyclo-heptadiene I.5), C10Ha5 is prepared from dihydroeucarveol. By the action of hydrobromic acid (in glacial acetic acid See also:solution) and reduction of the resulting product it yields 1.2-dimethyl-4-ethylbenzene (A. v. See also:Baeyer, Ber., 1897, 30, p. 2075). Cyclo-heptatriene (tropilidine), C,H8, is formed on distilling See also:tropine with baryta; and from cyclo-heptadiene by forming its addition product with See also:bromine and See also:heating this with See also:quinoline to 150—16o° C. (R. Willstatter, loc. cit.).

Chromic acid oxidizes it to benzoic acid and See also:

benzaldehyde. With bromine it forms a di-bromide, which then heated to i io° C. decomposes into hydro-bromic acid and benzyl bromide. Cyclo-keptanol, CIH130H, is formed by the reduction of suberone, and by the action of See also:silver nitrite on the hydrochloride of cyclohexanamine (N. I)emjanow, Centralblatt, 1904, i. p. 1214). Cyclo-heptanone (suberone), C,H,20, is formed on the See also:distillation of suberic acid with See also:lime, and from a-brom-cyclo-heptane carboxylic acid by treatment with baryta and subsequent distillation over See also:lead peroxide (R. Willstatter, Ber.. 1898, 31, p. 2507). It is a colourless liquid having a See also:peppermint odour, and boiling at 178.5–179.5° C. Nitric acid oxidizes it to n-pimelic acid.

Cyclo-heptane (suberane), C7H14, obtained by the reduction of suberyl iodide, is a liquid which boils at 117° C. On treatment with bromine in the presence of See also:

aluminium bromide it gives chiefly pentabromtoluene. When heated with hydriodic acid to 230 C. it gives methylhexamethylene. On oxidation with nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.4) it yields pimelic acid.
