(4R,6R)-4-Hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone

Description:

(4R,6R)-4-Hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, with CAS number 60046-50-6, is a chiral ketone characterized by its unique cyclohexane structure, which features hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits a distinct odor and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane ring. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its steric bulk and influences its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. As a chiral compound, it can exist in two enantiomeric forms, which may exhibit different biological activities or properties. This substance is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the specific conditions under which it is handled, including temperature and the presence of catalysts or other reagents.
