3-Methylcyclohexanol

Description:

3-Methylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by its six-membered carbon ring structure with a hydroxyl (-OH) group and a methyl (-CH₃) substituent. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive, mild odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts moderate polarity, allowing for hydrogen bonding, which influences its physical properties such as boiling and melting points. 3-Methylcyclohexanol is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can serve as a solvent or a chemical feedstock. Its reactivity includes typical alcohol reactions, such as dehydration and oxidation, making it a versatile compound in various chemical processes. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

3-Methylcyclohexanol is a reactive chemical substance with the chemical formula CH3CH2OH. It is used in the synthesis of covid-19, a pandemic antiviral drug that can be used to treat influenza A virus. 3-Methylcyclohexanol is a sodium salt that is stable in water and has an acylation reaction with an acid chloride. This reaction produces an ester and carboxylic acid as byproducts. 3-Methylcyclohexanol can be hydrogenated using metal catalysts, such as palladium, platinum or nickel, to produce fatty acids. The efficient method for this process involves dehydration of the alcohol to form the corresponding hydroxy compound.
