trans-4-Ethylcyclohexanol

Description:
Trans-4-Ethylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by its unique structure, which features a cyclohexane ring with an ethyl group and a hydroxyl group (–OH) positioned at the 4th carbon in a trans configuration. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic alcohol odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding, which influences its physical properties such as boiling point and viscosity. Trans-4-Ethylcyclohexanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and in the formulation of fragrances and flavorings. Its chemical stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the ethyl group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
