Cyclohexylmethanol is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₁₁−CH₂−OH. It is a cyclohexane ring functionalized with an alcohol, specifically a hydroxymethyl group. The compound is a colorless liquid, although commercial samples can appear yellow.

Production

Cyclohexylmethanol can be produced in two step starting with the hydroformylation of cyclohexene. This process also give cyclohexane, resulting from hydrogenation. The resulting cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde is then hydrogenated to give the alcohol. ^{[5] [6]}
