Description

trans-2-(4-Ethylphenyl)Cyclohexanol CAS NO 933674-54-5 is a high-purity, synthetically derived chiral alcohol featuring a cyclohexanol core substituted with a para-ethylphenyl group. This specific stereochemistry makes it a valuable and versatile advanced pharmaceutical intermediate and a key building block in organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in the development of novel active compounds and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and anti-inflammatory drug candidates.
• Liquid Crystal Material Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of advanced liquid crystal compounds used in display technologies, leveraging its rigid, substituted aromatic-cyclohexyl structure.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Used in asymmetric synthesis, cross-coupling reactions, and as a starting material for creating more complex molecular architectures in medicinal and materials chemistry.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Acts as an intermediate for the synthesis of novel aroma chemicals, where its specific stereochemistry can influence olfactory properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of new agrochemicals, such as herbicides and fungicides, as a structural component.
• Polymer Additive Precursor: Can be functionalized to create specialized monomers or additives that impart specific properties to polymer matrices.
