CAS 83926-73-2

α,α-Dimethylcyclohexanepropanol

Description:

α,α-Dimethylcyclohexanepropanol, identified by its CAS number 83926-73-2, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane structure with two methyl groups and a propanol functional group. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including a relatively high boiling point compared to simpler alcohols due to the presence of the cyclohexane ring, which adds steric hindrance. The compound may participate in various chemical reactions typical of alcohols, such as dehydration and oxidation, and can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its specific stereochemistry can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules, making it of interest in both industrial applications and research contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
