Description
4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol Product Overview
4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol (C10H20O) is a white crystalline solid with a woody, patchouli- and camphor-like odor. It is a mixture of cis and trans isomers, whose ratio affects odor and performance.
In addition, fragrance producers use it in soaps, detergents and fine fragrances, and as the starting material for its acetate, a widely used woody-fruity aroma chemical. Similarly, cosmetic formulators use the trans-rich grade in products for sensitive skin, where it helps reduce stinging and burning sensations. Chemists also use it as an intermediate.
Notably, related aroma chemicals in our range include (+)-Menthol (D-Menthol), Camphor and Benzyl Acetate.
