CAS 1883-91-6: ETHYL TRANS-2-HYDROXYCYCLOHEXANECARBOXYLATE

Description:Ethyl trans-2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate, with the CAS number 1883-91-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a cyclohexane ring. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylate group (-COO-) attached to the cyclohexane, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. Typically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its hydrogen bonding capabilities, making it more soluble in polar solvents compared to non-polar solvents. Ethyl trans-2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its stability under standard conditions allows for various applications, although it should be handled with care due to potential reactivity with strong oxidizing agents. As with many organic compounds, safety data sheets should be consulted for proper handling and storage guidelines.
