4-Chlorocyclohexanol is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexane ring with a hydroxyl (-OH) group and a chlorine atom attached to the fourth carbon of the ring. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the cyclohexane ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it a secondary alcohol, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution. 4-Chlorocyclohexanol is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other chemical products. Its chlorine substituent can enhance reactivity, making it useful in further chemical transformations. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during its handling.

Cyclohexanol, 4-chloro-

4-Chlorocyclohexan-1-ol is a monosubstituted cyclohexane ring that has been used as an additive in wastewater treatment. It enhances the chloride ion reactivity with the carbon source and hydrogen chloride, which results in a high reaction rate of the chlorine atom with the substrate. 4-Chlorocyclohexan-1-ol is also used to prepare chlorinated cycloalkanes by cross-coupling reactions. The sequences of these reactions are determined by the substitution pattern on the cyclohexane ring.
