γ,4-Dimethylcyclohexanepropanol

Description:

γ,4-Dimethylcyclohexanepropanol, identified by its CAS number 70964-91-9, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane structure with additional methyl groups and a hydroxyl functional group. This compound features a cyclohexane ring substituted at the gamma and 4 positions with methyl groups, contributing to its unique steric and electronic properties. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group indicates that it is an alcohol, which can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility and reactivity. Typically, such compounds exhibit moderate polarity, making them soluble in polar solvents while retaining some hydrophobic characteristics due to the cyclohexane framework. The compound may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the formulation of specialty chemicals. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, would be influenced by the molecular structure and the presence of functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
