Product Description:
Dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD) is a high-quality organic ester commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and chemical research applications. The product is presented as a white solid with a mild characteristic odor and offers reliable physical and chemical stability when handled and stored under recommended conditions. Its well-defined molecular structure and consistent purity make it suitable for use in laboratory-scale reactions and R&D projects requiring reproducible results.
DMCD is slightly soluble in water and shows good compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents, enabling flexible use in multi-step synthesis routes. It is often employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, specialty chemicals, and functional compounds where controlled reactivity and structural consistency are essential. Due to its stable ester groups and cyclohexane backbone, DMCD can contribute to improved performance and process efficiency in targeted synthesis pathways.
During handling, appropriate personal protective equipment should be used to minimize direct contact. The material may cause skin irritation and should not be released into the environment. Storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain product quality.
