Cyclohexanone, 3,5-dimethyl-, (3R,5S)-rel-

Description:

Cyclohexanone, 3,5-dimethyl-, (3R,5S)-rel- is a chiral ketone characterized by a cyclohexane ring with two methyl groups attached at the 3 and 5 positions. This compound is a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor reminiscent of peppermint or camphor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. The presence of the ketone functional group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The specific stereochemistry indicated by the (3R,5S) configuration suggests that it has distinct optical properties, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. As with many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
