1-cyclohexylethanol

1-Cyclohexylethanol (CAS 1193-81-3 ), also known as cyclohexyl methyl carbinol, is a secondary aliphatic alcohol used as a solvent, carrier, and chemical intermediate across pharmaceutical and fragrance manufacturing.

Its FEMA 4794 designation supports its use in flavoring and fragrance applications where regulatory traceability is required. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a synthetic intermediate.

It is used in the preparation of active ingredients and specialty compounds requiring a cyclohexyl-bearing alcohol backbone. Fragrance formulators incorporate it as a carrier and fixative component.

In fine fragrance and functional fragrance systems, its moderate volatility helps anchor scent profiles. Personal care manufacturers use it in formulations such as skin creams and hair products.

It is ideal where a solvent with low water miscibility is needed to stabilize oil-phase ingredients. It also serves as a building block in custom synthesis projects targeting chiral structures.

1-Cyclohexylethanol is supplied as a clear liquid in standard packaging suitable for laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale procurement. Technical and high-purity grades are available for use.

Specifications are confirmed by GC purity analysis to ensure consistency. Sourcing is typically available in quantities ranging from kilogram samples through bulk drum orders for industrial needs.
