6-Methyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methanol

Description:

6-Methyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methanol, with the CAS number 5259-31-4, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cyclohexene ring with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group attached. This compound is classified as an alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. It typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a pleasant, sweet odor, which is common among many cyclic alcohols. The presence of the double bond in the cyclohexene structure contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to various chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation or oxidation. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water is typical for compounds of this nature. 6-Methyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methanol may find applications in the synthesis of fragrances, flavoring agents, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
