(2-OXO-CYCLOHEXYL)-ACETIC ACID METHYL ESTER

Description:

(2-OXO-CYCLOHEXYL)-ACETIC ACID METHYL ESTER, with the CAS number 13672-64-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from the reaction of acetic acid and a cyclohexyl ketone. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and possesses a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexyl structure. The presence of the ketone and ester groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
