[(1S,2S)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)cyclohexyl]methanol（Cat No.:R072878）is a chiral diol featuring a cyclohexane ring with hydroxymethyl groups at the 1 and 2 positions in the (1S,2S) configuration. This compound is valued in asymmetric synthesis and pharmaceutical research due to its defined stereochemistry and dual alcohol functionality. It serves as a versatile intermediate for building complex molecules, such as chiral auxiliaries, ligands, or drug candidates. The presence of two hydroxyl groups allows for selective derivatization into esters, ethers, or carbonates. Its rigid, saturated ring structure enhances conformational control in stereoselective transformations and material design.
