Description

trans-1-Isopropyl-4-Methylcyclohexane is a high-purity, highly volatile alicyclic hydrocarbon. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and specialty solvent in advanced chemical synthesis and industrial formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for its specific structural and physical properties.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex aroma chemicals and flavoring agents due to its specific isopropyl-methyl cyclohexane structure.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block or chiral intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Specialty Solvent: Employed in high-value applications requiring a non-polar, volatile solvent for coatings, adhesives, or extraction processes.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in research and development for cyclization reactions and the creation of more complex organic molecules.
• Polymer and Resin Modifier: Can be used to modify the properties of certain polymers or as a component in resin formulations.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for chromatography and quality control in chemical analysis.

Quality Control

Our trans-1-Isopropyl-4-Methylcyclohexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
