Trimethylcyclohexanol, with the CAS number 1321-60-4, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane structure substituted with three methyl groups and one hydroxyl group. This compound typically exists as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is classified as an alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which imparts certain properties such as solubility in polar solvents and the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. Trimethylcyclohexanol is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo reactions typical of alcohols, such as dehydration or oxidation. Its physical properties include a moderate boiling point and viscosity, influenced by the bulky methyl groups that affect molecular interactions. This compound is often used in the synthesis of various chemicals and as a solvent or intermediate in organic reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may cause irritation.
