Cyclohexylmethylphenol, with the CAS number 1596-13-0, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure, which includes a cyclohexyl group and a methyl group attached to a phenol ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclohexyl group. Cyclohexylmethylphenol exhibits antioxidant properties, making it useful in various industrial applications, including as a stabilizer in plastics and as an additive in lubricants. Its chemical stability and resistance to oxidation contribute to its effectiveness in these roles. Additionally, it may have applications in the formulation of certain pharmaceuticals and personal care products. As with many phenolic compounds, it is important to handle Cyclohexylmethylphenol with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance.

2-Cyclohexyl-5-methylphenol

2-Cyclohexyl-5-methylphenol is a phenolic compound that is structurally classified as an asymmetric molecule. This molecule has two possible conformations, of which the one with the methyl group on the left is more stable than the one with it on the right. This molecule crystallizes in a monoclinic system and stacks in an alternating pattern. Hydrogen bonds stabilize this stacking.
