Description

2-Cyclohexylethanol is a molecule that is used in wastewater treatment. It is a solid phase microextraction (SPME) extraction technique that utilizes cyclohexane rings to adsorb hydrophobic compounds, such as fatty acids and alkoxy radicals, from water samples. 2-Cyclohexylethanol has been shown to be an effective agent for the cleavage of fatty acid molecules and for the synthesis of fatty acid esters. The biodiesel production process uses 2-cyclohexylethanol as a catalyst to remove water from the reaction mixture. This product also has photochemical properties that have been used to synthesize ketones and other organic molecules.
