1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane-1,4-diol, with the CAS number 56137-58-7, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure substituted with two methyl groups and two hydroxyl (–OH) groups at the 1 and 4 positions. This compound is a type of diol, specifically a vicinal diol, due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. The presence of hydroxyl groups imparts hydrophilic properties, making it soluble in water and polar solvents, while the methyl groups contribute to its hydrophobic characteristics. 1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane-1,4-diol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification, and is of interest in organic synthesis and materials science. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
