| Product Overview |
4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-4-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, also known as Methyl 4-methyl-4-(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate or MMCC, is an organic compound that has gained significant attention in scientific research due to its potential applications in drug synthesis and medicinal chemistry. MMCC is a cyclic ester that is synthesized from 4-methylcyclohexanone and ethyl oxalate. |
| Synthesis Method |
MMCC can be synthesized through a simple reaction between 4-methylcyclohexanone and ethyl oxalate. The reaction is catalyzed by a base, such as sodium ethoxide, and proceeds through a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism. The resulting product is a white crystalline solid that can be purified through recrystallization. |
| Chemical Properties |
It is easy to synthesize, relatively inexpensive, and exhibits low toxicity. However, it has some limitations, including its limited solubility in water and its potential to form polymorphs. |
| Synthesis and Application |
MMCC has been studied extensively for its potential applications in drug synthesis and medicinal chemistry. It has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. MMCC has also been studied for its potential use as a chiral building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. |
| Future Directions |
One potential area of study is the development of MMCC derivatives with improved pharmacological properties. Another potential area of study is the investigation of the mechanism of action of MMCC and its potential interactions with other drugs. Additionally, MMCC could be studied for its potential use in the treatment of other conditions, such as cancer or neurological disorders. |
