(Cuban-1-yl)methanol

CAS: 134078-23-2

Ref. 3D-JFA07823

Product Information

• Name: (Cuban-1-yl)methanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cuban-1-ylmethanol is a methyl group that can be protonated and has a mass of 82.06 g/mol. Its solubility in water is 1.6 g/L at 25°C. Cuban-1-ylmethanol has been shown to form oxime derivatives when reacted with either hydroxylamine or hydrazine. The crystal structure of the product was determined by x-ray crystallography, and the mechanism for this reaction was proposed to be a transfer of methyl groups from Cuban-1-ylmethanol to an oxygen atom on the substrate. Cuban-1-ylmethanol can be used as a probe for methane monooxygenase (MMO) activity, yielding yields of up to 50%.
