Description
4-Ethylcyclohexanecarboxylic Acid (CAS No. 91328-77-7) is a high-purity cycloaliphatic carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C9H16O2. This compound is characterized by its ethyl-substituted cyclohexane ring, which confers unique steric and electronic properties, making it valuable in organic synthesis and material science. Available in both cis and trans isomeric forms, it is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid with ≥98% purity (HPLC). Ideal for researchers, it is rigorously tested for consistency, stability, and low trace metal content. Suitable for use as a building block in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Packaged under inert gas to ensure longevity and stored in amber glass vials to prevent photodegradation.
