| biological activity | trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-diol is an endogenous metabolite. |
| use | for organic synthesis. |
| Production method | The newly steamed cyclohexene is added dropwise to the mixture of hydrogen peroxide and formic acid to keep the reaction temperature at 40-45°C. The resulting product trans -1, 2-cyclohexanediol is separated and purified to obtain the finished product. |
| spontaneous combustion temperature | 360°C |
