 |  | [Uses] 
 
 1-Methyl-1-cyclohexene (2,3,4,5-Tetrahydrotoluene) was used to study the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yields from the ozonolysis of cycloalkenes. |  | [Synthesis Reference(s)] 
 The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 45, p. 917, 1980 DOI: 10.1021/jo01293a030
 |  | [General Description] 
 
 1-Methyl-1-cyclohexene (2,3,4,5-Tetrahydrotoluene) is a sterically hindered, unactivated alkene. |  | [Environmental Fate] 
 Photolytic. Atkinson (1985) reported a rate constant of 9.45 x 10-11 cm3/molecule?sec for the
reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with OH radicals in the atmosphere.
 |  | [Purification Methods] 
 Free it from hydroperoxides by passing through a column containing basic alumina or refluxing with cupric stearate, filter and fractionally distil it from sodium. [Vogel J Chem Soc 1332 1938, Cope et al. J Am Chem Soc 79 4729 1957, Beilstein 5 III 197, 5 VI 245.]
