2-TERT-BUTYLCYCLOHEXANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE CRYSTALLINE FLAKES AND POWDER. Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Powerful, camphoraceous-piney, mostly minty and somewhat tarry odor of great tenacity.

Uses

2-tert-Butylcyclohexanol as an isomer of the better known para-derivative, this alcohol is used in a similar way, mainly to lend power and radiation to soap perfumes where woody, Cedar-like, Pine-like or even Patchouli-like effects should be emphasized. Its minty character limits its use to a few fragrance types, and it will rarely enter the perfume formulation al more than one or two percent.

Uses

2-tert-Butylcyclohexanol was used in the synthesis of 2-tert-butylcyclohexyl methacrylate via reaction with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine.

Preparation

By hydrogenation of 2-tertiury-Butyl-phenol.

General Description

2-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is the major metabolite of (+/-)-2-tert-butylcyclohexanone.
