2-Cyclohexylethanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

2-Cyclohexylethanol is a clear colourless liquid. B.P. 204℃. Dry-camphoraceous odor with some (but not much) resemblance to Rose and Patchouli notes.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature

Uses

2-Cyclohexylethanol is a useful building block, and has recently been used in a green preparation of oxidative esterification of primary alcohols.

Preparation

By catalytic hydrogenation of phenylethyl alcohol under pressure (Arctander, 1969).
