4-tert-Butylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (Cat No.: R042754) is a saturated alicyclic carboxylic acid featuring a bulky tert-butyl group at the 4-position of a cyclohexane ring and a carboxylic acid at the 1-position. The tert-butyl group influences the compound’s conformational preference, often stabilizing the equatorial position in chair conformations. This compound is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Its steric properties make it valuable in studying sterically hindered reactions. For research and laboratory use only.
