Acetamido(cyclohexyl)acetic acid(CAS: 107020-80-4)

Acetamido(cyclohexyl)acetic acid (CAS: 107020-80-4) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 240.26 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 3.4 g/100 mL in water at 20°C. It is moderately reactive and can undergo esterification reactions. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong acids and bases.

Acetamido(cyclohexyl)acetic acid (CAS: 107020-80-4) is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reaction of cyclohexylacetic acid with acetamide. The synthesis typically uses an acid catalyst and involves the formation of an amide bond. The product is purified through recrystallization and typically yields around 85-90% of the theoretical amount.

Acetamido(cyclohexyl)acetic acid (CAS: 107020-80-4) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drug intermediates. It is also used in the polymer industry for the modification of polymers, and in the sensor industry for the development of new sensing materials. It can also be found in some semiconductor applications for its specific chemical properties.

When handling Acetamido(cyclohexyl)acetic acid (CAS: 107020-80-4), it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate methods. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific safety guidelines and emergency procedures.
