Product Information
- Cyclohexanemethanol, 2-hydroxy-
2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexan-1-ol is a potassium salt that is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals. It has been shown to be a strong inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in vitro, which leads to increased levels of acetylcholine and neurotransmission. The compound has also been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis through an unknown mechanism. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexan-1-ol is isolated from a variety of sources, including wood tar, coal tar, and petroleum.
2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexan-1-ol can be synthesized by solvolysis with potassium hydroxide or tetrafluoroborate followed by acetolysis with acetic anhydride.
Potassium acetate can also be used to synthesize 2-(hydroxymethyl)-cyclohexan-1-
