The chemical substance known as 2-[(2R,4aR,8aR)-4a,8-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalen-2-yl]propan-2-ol, with the CAS number 473-16-5, is a chiral compound characterized by its complex bicyclic structure. It features a naphthalene derivative with multiple stereocenters, contributing to its stereochemical diversity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for hydrophobic organic compounds. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group indicates that it can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This substance may be of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, due to its potential biological activity and utility as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.
