Applications & Uses

Description

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, also known as hexahydrobenzoic acid or carboxycyclohexane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is an acidic, cheese, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body,. A monocarboxylic acid that consists of cyclohexane substituted by a carboxy group.

Uses

Paint and varnish driers, dry-cleaning soaps, lubricating oils, stabilizer for rubber.

Uses

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid can be used to determine complex binding constants of the three native cyclodextrins with seven cyclohexane derivatives.

Uses

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in wine and other alcoholic beverages, edible salts and high-salinity foods, and ethanolic extract of Centella asiatica by various analytical techniques.

General Description

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, the saturated analog of benzoic acid, is categorized under the family of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is typically used as a flavoring ingredient.
