CAS 3685-27-6: trans-4-Hydroxycyclohexanemethanol

Description: Trans-4-Hydroxycyclohexanemethanol, with the CAS number 3685-27-6, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure, which features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methanol group (-CH2OH) attached to the fourth carbon of the ring. This compound exists in a trans configuration, meaning that the hydroxyl and methanol groups are positioned on opposite sides of the cyclohexane ring, which influences its spatial arrangement and properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential applications in the development of chiral intermediates and as a building block for more complex molecules. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the steric and electronic effects of the substituents on the cyclohexane ring.
