1-Methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (Cat No.: R019368) is a saturated alicyclic carboxylic acid featuring a cyclohexane ring substituted with a methyl group at the 1-position and a carboxylic acid functional group. It exists as a mixture of cis and trans isomers due to the ring’s conformational flexibility. This compound is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Its non-aromatic, bulky structure offers steric control in reactions, and the carboxyl group allows for diverse chemical transformations.
