Description

1,4-Cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid is a polycarboxylic acid with a cyclohexane ring. It is used as an iron oxide pigment for paints. 1,4-Cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid is produced by the thermal decomposition of cyclohexanone oxime and can be synthesized in the laboratory using dibutyltin oxide as a catalyst. The molecule has two hydroxyl groups that are involved in steric interactions with other molecules. The chemical structure of 1,4-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid consists of a glycol ether and fatty acids, which are responsible for its solubility in organic solvents such as ethers and chlorinated hydrocarbons. FTIR spectroscopy has revealed that 1,4-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid contains hydroxyl groups and aromatic rings
