Product Information
Tert-butyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is a chemical that is used in preclinical studies to investigate the effects of overeating. It has been shown to have diastereomeric forms, which are stereoisomers with different configurations about a single chiral centre. This compound also has a reductive amination reaction, which is an organic reaction between an aldehyde and an amine where the amine is reduced to an amino alcohol. Tert-butyl cyclohexanecarboxylate has been shown to be selective in this reaction due to its high reductive power. Tert-butyl cyclohexanecarboxylate can be used as a lactol synthesis strategy for the synthesis of large quantities of lactic acid, which can then be converted into other useful chemicals. The tert-butyl group on this compound is important for this application because it can be easily removed after the desired product is synthesized by hydro
