Definition

ChEBI: Ethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is an ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid with ethanol. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a plant metabolite and a human metabolite. It is an ethyl ester and a volatile organic compound. It is functionally related to a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid.
