1,4-Dimethylcyclohexanol

Description:

1,4-Dimethylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by a cyclohexane ring with two methyl groups attached at the 1 and 4 positions. Its molecular formula is C8H16O, indicating the presence of eight carbon atoms, sixteen 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 (-OH) group imparts alcohol-like properties, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. 1,4-Dimethylcyclohexanol can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may also find applications in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic compounds, proper safety measures should be taken when handling this substance due to potential health hazards.
