:

4-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid

Description:
4-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, also known by its CAS number 13380-84-2, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexane ring with a carboxylic acid group and a hydroxymethyl group attached to it. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The hydroxymethyl group contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is often utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. The presence of both hydroxymethyl and carboxylic acid functionalities allows for diverse chemical modifications, making it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. Additionally, its structural features may impart specific biological activities, warranting further investigation in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
