Description

Ethyl 4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate is a chiral compound that can exist as two different stereoisomers. The racemic mixture is composed of 50% of each stereoisomer, while the meso form is composed of only one stereoisomer. The compound has a high affinity for rat brain receptors and has been shown to have potentiation properties. It also has an ability to cause carboxyamide formation with ethyl esters and dehydration with chloride. This process can be reversed by solvents such as ethers and ethanol. The melting point of the compound is -8 degrees Celsius, with a boiling point of 130 degrees Celsius at 760 mmHg. Ethyl 4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylate hydrolyzes in alkaline conditions to produce 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol).
