4-CYCLOHEXYLBUTYRIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white semi-transparent crystalline solid

Uses

Cyclohexanebutyric acid was used in the growth of Arthrobacter sp. strain CA1. It was also used in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).

Purification Methods

Distil the acid through a Vigreux column (p 11), and the crystalline distillate is recrystallised from pet ether. The S-benzylisothiuronium salt has m 154-155o (from EtOH) [Friediger & Pedersen Acta Chem Scand 9 1425 1955, English & Dayan J Am Chem Soc 72 4187 1950]. [Beilstein 9 II 15.]
