cis-4-Isopropylcyclohexylmethanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

cis-4-(Isopropyl)cyclohexanemethanol is a colorless liquid with a fresh soft and clean floral odor, reminiscent of the fragrance associated with the white petals and blossoms of many flowers.
The title compound can be obtained by epoxidizing β-pinene with peracetic acid, cleaving the oxirane ring by treating the epoxide with diatomaceous earth, and reducing the resulting mixture over Raney nickel. The cis- and trans-isomermixture is separated by distillation. Because of its excellent stability, the compound can be used in a wide range of products, for example, soaps, detergents, cosmetics.
