Application

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was used in a study to determine complex binding constants of the three native cyclodextrins with seven cyclohexane derivatives.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid undergoes microbial degradation by a strain of Antherobacter to form para-hydroxybenzoic acid. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid undergoes aromatization and converts to Hippuric acid in rat liver extracts in vitro. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is the starting reagent for the synthesis of polyketide-type antibiotics, Phoslactomycins.

Preparation Note

0.201g of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid dissolves in 100g water at 15°C.
