  • Applications

    Cyclohexanol, 4,4-dimethyl- (CAS number: 932-01-4) is primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate in chemical production. It serves as a building block for the preparation of cyclohexanone and other cyclohexyl derivatives, and provides feedstock for nylon precursors such as adipic acid and caprolactam through downstream oxidation and transformation routes. The compound can be oxidized or transformed to ketones and alcohols for further functionalization, enabling the synthesis of bulky cycloalkyl monomers and plasticizers in polymer chemistry. It may also be employed as a solvent or co-solvent in certain industrial formulations, and as a starting material for fragrance chemistry, where the cyclohexyl scaffold supports the synthesis of aroma compounds. In pharmaceutical research, it may function as a synthetic building block for exploratory intermediates, while its hydroxyl group allows formation of esters or ethers in coatings, inks, and adhesive applications. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
