Uses
4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol-d3 is labelled 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (M294915) which is patented for use as an ingridient of air fresheners. 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (M294915) can also be used to synthesize thiazolidinedione (2,4-thiazolidinedione, T344250) derivatives as 15-PGDH inhibitors.
Definition
ChEBI: 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol is an alicyclic primary alcohol that is cyclohexane substituted by a hydroxy methyl group and methyl group at positions 1 and 4. It acts as a hydrotrope, solubilizing hydrophobic substances in aqueous environments. It also prevents protein aggregation, alters membrane dynamics and metal homeostasis, and is used in a flotation process for cleaning and processing coal. It is an aliphatic alcohol, a primary alcohol and a carbocyclic compound.
