Cyclohexyl acetate

Description:

Cyclohexyl acetate is an organic compound characterized by its molecular formula C10H18O2. It is an ester formed from cyclohexanol and acetic acid, featuring a cyclohexyl group attached to an acetate moiety. This colorless liquid has a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Cyclohexyl acetate has a moderate boiling point and is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. It is known for its low toxicity, although safety precautions should still be observed during handling. The compound is often utilized as a solvent in various chemical reactions and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it can be found in some consumer products, including perfumes and food flavorings, due to its aromatic properties. As with many esters, cyclohexyl acetate can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid.
