<p>Ethyl 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate</p>

<p>Ethyl 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate is an aliphatic, cyclic compound that belongs to the group of superacids. It is a byproduct of the reaction between benzene and ethyl chloroformate. This reaction requires a catalyst, such as potassium tert-butoxide or tetrabutylammonium fluoride. The molecule has a tetrahydrofuran ring with a hydroxy group and can be classified as an aldehyde, which is formed by the removal of two hydrogen atoms from the carbonyl carbon atom. Ethyl 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate also undergoes a shift in its equilibrium position when it interacts with other compounds, such as elemental analysis or five-membered hydrocarbons.</p>
