Summary
Benzylation of the sodio-derivative of ethyl-1-cyano-4-methyl-cyclohexane-1-cyanoacetate yields a dicyano ester, which gives a pair of isomeric 1-carboxy-4-methylcyclohexane-1-α-benzylacetic acids on hydrolysis. Similar pair of isomeric 1-carboxy-3-methylcyclohexane-1-α-benzylacetic acids has been also obtained. These results can equally be interpreted on the uniplanar form of the cyclohexane ring.
