trans-4-Pentylcyclohexanecarboxaldehyde

Description:

Trans-4-Pentylcyclohexanecarboxaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring structure with a pentyl group and an aldehyde functional group. The "trans" configuration indicates that the substituents on the cyclohexane ring are positioned opposite each other, which influences the compound's physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive odor, characteristic of aldehydes. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic pentyl chain. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, and it can participate in various chemical transformations. Trans-4-Pentylcyclohexanecarboxaldehyde may be used in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of fragrances or other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as aldehydes can be irritants and may pose health risks.
