1,2-dimethylcyclohexan-1-ol - Introduction
Dimethylcyclohexanol (DMCH) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H16O. It is a colorless liquid with a special malt aroma.
Regarding the properties of dimethylcyclohexanol, it has a lower boiling point and melting point. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers and non-polar organic solvents and insoluble in water. Dimethyl cyclohexanol can be obtained by acid catalyzed reaction hydrogenation of dimethyl cyclohexanol or by the reaction of magnesium bromide and sodium hydrogen acetate.
Dimethylcyclohexanol is widely used in chemical synthesis as solvent, intermediate and catalyst. Some natural flavors and essences with malt aroma also contain dimethylcyclohexanol. In addition, dimethylcyclohexanol can also be used as a bactericide, preservative and surfactant.
When using dimethyl cyclohexanol, you need to pay attention to some safety matters. Dimethylcyclohexanol has a pungent odor and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Therefore, protective gloves, goggles and masks should be worn during operation to ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with fire and high temperature, and store in a cool, dry place.
