Description

3,4-Dimethylcyclohexanol is a trimer of cyclohexanol that has a boiling point of 113.2°C and a density of 0.816 g/mL at 20°C. The mixture is composed of two isomers, cis-3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol and trans-3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol. 3,4-Dimethylcyclohexanol is soluble in water and alcohols and can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. The equilibrium constant for the formation of the cis-isomer from the trans-isomer is 2.05x10^5 at 25°C and 1 atm pressure. At equilibrium, the concentrations are 0.25 mol/L for cis-3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol and 0.75 mol/L for trans-3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol.
