1-Cyclohexylethanamine

1-Cyclohexylethylamine is a small molecule that belongs to the group of amines. It has an enantiopure structure, meaning that it has only one type of chiral centre. 1-Cyclohexylethylamine is a hydrogen bond donor and can form hydrogen bonds with the O atom in the hydroxyl group of citric acid. It has been shown to have anticancer activity against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The biological properties of this compound are incompletely understood due to its lack of study. 1-Cyclohexylethylamine crystallizes as a racemic mixture, which means that it contains both enantiomers. Crystallography studies show that the two enantiomers have different physical properties, including melting point and density.
