trans-4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol

Description:

Trans-4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group attached. The "trans" designation indicates that the methyl group and the hydroxymethyl group are positioned on opposite sides of the cyclohexane ring, which influences its stereochemistry and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Additionally, trans-4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol may exhibit unique reactivity patterns due to the steric and electronic effects of the substituents on the cyclohexane ring. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

[(1R,4R)-4-Methylcyclohexyl]methanol

CAS: 3937-49-3

[(1R,4R)-4-Methylcyclohexyl]methanol is an organic compound that is a glycol ether. It is used as a solvent in the production of polymers, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. [(1R,4R)-4-Methylcyclohexyl]methanol has been shown to have significant interactions with bacteria and may be toxic to humans. It has been found to inhibit the enzyme activity of hydroxy methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase in vitro. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG CoA to mevalonic acid and plays an important role in cholesterol synthesis. The inhibition of this enzyme by [(1R,4R)-4-Methylcyclohexyl]methanol may lead to a decrease in cholesterol levels in humans.
