4-Cyclohexyl-butan-1-ol

CAS 4441-57-0, 4-Cyclohexyl-butan-1-ol, is a hydroxyl-bearing building block of formula C10H20O and 156.26 g/mol.

As a free alcohol it can be protected, activated as a leaving group or oxidised one step short of the acid, and the choice is usually decided by what has to survive afterwards. The ring constrains the geometry of the fragment, so the entry is bought for the shape it imposes on the rest of the molecule rather than for a single reactive site.

The formula C10H20O resolves to 10 carbons with one oxygen. At 10 carbons the entry is an oil or a low-melting solid, and it is handled at ambient temperature in most steps.

Handling and storage

Store closed and dry. Water content is the value that drifts on an opened container, more than the assay does.

Ordering

Standard packing 1kg / 25kg / 100kg. Other unit weights are quoted per lot and confirmed in writing before the material is packed. Release testing covers identity and assay; the impurity profile is available on request rather than being printed on this page.
