Description

3-Methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of benzyl alcohols. It has been shown to be a good solvent for caproic acid, fatty acids and other organic compounds. 3-Methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride can be used in modelling, as it is a non-cyclic molecule with six hydroxyl groups. This compound can also be used in devices such as long-term implants, where it is mixed with diglycidyl ether. The hydroxyl groups on the benzyl ring react with hydrogen ions and cause the release of water molecules. This reaction leads to the formation of an ester or amide linkage between two carboxylic acid molecules. 3-Methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride is considered safe for use in humans due to its low toxicity and absence of carcinogenic properties.br>
