Description
Trans-4-Aminocyclohexanol is also named as Cis-4-Aminocyclohexanol. It was a medical intermediate of ambroxol, which is used in the treatment of respiratory diseases associated with viscid or excessive mucus.
1 It is used as a raw material in organic synthesis, such as in the synthesis of N-substituted 7-azabicyclo [2.2.1] hepatanes, which are good substrates for microbial oxidation of unactivated carbons by B.bassiana.

Uses
trans-4-Aminocyclohexanol is used as raw material in organic synthesis and is an important intermediate in the synthesis of drugs such as Ambroxol hydrochloride. It can react with butyric acid-(2-chloro-ethyl ester) to get butyric acid 4-amino-cyclohexyl ester. This reaction needs catalytic agent Aspergillus niger lipase and solvent 2-methyl-butan-2-ol.
