1-Cyclohexylethanol

1-Cyclohexylethanol is a colorless oily liquid with a pleasant odor that is soluble in water and reacts with acids. The molecular weight of 1-cyclohexylethanol is 136.17 g/mol and the melting point is -70 °C. Its chemical formula is C6H14O and the molecular structure can be seen below: The hydrogen bond between the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group and the hydrogen atom of the methyl group makes 1-cyclohexylethanol soluble in water, alcohols, glycerin, ethers, and acetone. It has a boiling point of 169 °C at atmospheric pressure. 1-Cyclohexylethanol has been studied for its kinetic reaction mechanism. The formation rate of the product depends on both temperature and concentration, with an increase in either one increasing the reaction rate. In addition, 1-cyclohexylethanol has been shown to have a
