Product Information

• Name: trans-1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid
• Synonyms: trans-Hexahydrophthalic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trans-1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid is a cyclic dicarboxylic acid that has a carboxylate group. It is an enantiopure compound because it contains only one chiral center. Trans-1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid is used in the synthesis of amines and malic acid, which is used in food processing as a preservative or for flavor enhancement. Trans-1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid can also be found in some pharmaceuticals that are used to treat disorders involving the central nervous system. Trans-1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid has been shown to have low energy barriers for reactions involving its carbonyl group, which makes it an optimal candidate for reactions with other carbonyl groups.
