Product Information

• Name: 3-Cyclohexylpropionic acid
• Synonyms: 3-Cyclohexanepropionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Cyclohexylpropionic acid is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether. It has a melting point of 37-38 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 214 degrees Celsius. 3-Cyclohexylpropionic acid is an effective tuberculostatic agent with a phase transition temperature of -5 degrees Celsius. The chemical stability of 3-Cyclohexylpropionic acid makes it suitable for use as a disinfectant in detergent compositions. This compound reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to give the corresponding ester, which is then hydrolyzed by hydroxyl group to form the corresponding carboxylic acid. 3-Cyclohexylpropionic acid also reacts with cationic surfactants such as benzalkonium chloride to form the corresponding quaternary ammonium salt. This chemical can be synthesized from caproic acid and hydrochloric acid or butyrol
