4-Ethylcyclohexanol

Description:

4-Ethylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by a cyclohexane ring with an ethyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the fourth carbon atom. Its molecular formula is C10H18O, indicating it contains ten carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 4-Ethylcyclohexanol is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may also serve as a solvent or in the formulation of various chemical products. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to understand its handling, storage, and potential hazards.

4-Ethylcyclohexanol (4EC) is a chemical that has been shown to have many pharmacological activities. It binds to the dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine receptors in the brain, which may be responsible for its effects on mood and behaviour. 4EC also blocks the reuptake of monoamines by competing with them for binding sites at the synapse. The mechanism of action of 4EC is not fully understood, but it may involve inhibition of enzymes involved in fat metabolism. This chemical has been shown to block fatty acid oxidation and promote lipolysis in adipocytes. 4EC also inhibits malic acid synthesis and increases levels of pentenoic acid in diabetic neuropathy patients.
