1,3-dimethylcyclohexanol

Description:
1,3-Dimethylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by a cyclohexane ring with two methyl groups attached at the 1 and 3 positions. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 1,3-Dimethylcyclohexanol can be synthesized through various methods, including the reduction of corresponding ketones or aldehydes. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. The compound's physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by the steric effects of the methyl groups and the hydroxyl group. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling 1,3-dimethylcyclohexanol, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
