2-Hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid, also known as cis-2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexane ring with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to it. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of the polar hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups. It exhibits both acidic and alcohol properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and dehydration. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. 2-Hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemical compounds. Its CAS number, 609-69-8, is a unique identifier that facilitates its recognition in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
