4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol

OccurrenceHas apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol (mixture of cis and trans) can be used as a reactant to synthesize tris(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine)(trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexanolato)deca-μ-oxido-heptaoxidoheptavanadium oxide cluster complex by reacting with [V8O20(C18H24N2)4]. It can also be used as a reactant in competitive Oppenauer oxidation experiments in the presence of zeolite BEA as a stereoselective catalyst. Only cis-isomer is selectively converted to the corresponding ketone, whereas trans-isomer remains unchanged.

General Description4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is a soothing molecule whose special feature is to instantly decrease stinging and burning sensations. According to the manufacturer's impressive numbers, it can reduce stinging up to 78% and burning sensation by up to 80% after just 3 minutes.It is so effective because it works at a cellular level via intercepting the signals caused by the irritation before they can reach the neuro-receptor. This means that we feel stinging and burning sensations much less and the skin's tolerance threshold is increased.The effectiveness of SymSitive was also backed up by a comparative study. It found that both 4‐t‐Butylcyclohexanol and fellow cell-communicating, soothing molecule acetyl dipeptide‐1 cetyl ester works, but 4‐t‐Butylcyclohexanol works better.
