:Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, methyl ester
Description:
Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 4-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. This compound features a cyclohexane ring with a carboxylic acid group and a methyl group at the 4-position, contributing to its unique structure and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent or in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The presence of the ester group imparts certain reactivity, allowing it to undergo hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are typical for esters. Additionally, it may exhibit moderate volatility and is subject to standard safety considerations, including flammability and potential health effects upon exposure. Overall, this compound is of interest in both industrial and research settings due to its chemical properties and potential applications.
