4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid

Description:

4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure substituted with a tert-butyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It has a relatively high boiling point due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The tert-butyl group contributes to steric hindrance, influencing the compound's reactivity and solubility in various solvents. This acid is generally soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, its unique structure can impart specific physical and chemical properties, making it of interest in materials science and chemical research. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many organic acids, due to potential irritant effects.

4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid

CAS: 5451-55-8

4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid is a monocarboxylic acid. It has been used as an analytical chemical for the estimation of naphthenic acids in petroleum oils. 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid has been identified as one of the major components of crude oil. The titration method is based on the formation of a complex with cyclopentylmethyl, which can be determined by measuring its UV absorption at 260 nm. This chemical can be used to synthesize 2-phenylbutyric acid, which is a useful carbon source for microorganisms that produce biodegradable plastics and other materials. The synthesis of this chemical starts with a strain of bacteria that converts monoacetic acid into 2-phenylbutyric acid. The mechanistic pathway involves stereoisomers and aldehydes.
