Description

Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is an endogenous metabolite.


Odorant found in virgin olive oil and green olives.


Clear, colourless liquid; cheese-like odour


Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is a methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid with methanol. It has a role as a human metabolite and a flavouring agent. It is a methyl ester and a volatile organic compound. It derives from a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid.

Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

A solution of ester 21.22 (9.99 g, 70.3 mmol) was added under inert atmosphere to a cooled (0 0C) suspension Of LiAlD4 (2.99 g, 71.2 mmol) in anhydrous Et2O. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 0C for 3 hrs and then slowly quenched by addition of saturated Na2SO4 until white precipitate formed. The mixture was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give alcohol 21.23 as a colorless volatile liquid. Yield (2.52 g, 32%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta 1.63-1.78 (m, 5H), 1.40-1.50 (m, IH), 1.10-1.35 (m, 4H), 0.86-0.99 (m, 2H).
