4-(Aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, also known as 4-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, is a colorless solid with the chemical formula C8H15NO2. It is used primarily in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for its potential as a chiral building block in drug synthesis. It has a pKa of 4.5 and is soluble in water and ethanol.

4-(Aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry as a chiral building block for the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. It is also utilized in the chemical industry for the production of chiral catalysts and in organic synthesis. Its use in food additives and personal care products is limited due to its structural complexity.

4-(Aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is generally considered safe for industrial use when handled properly. It is non-flammable and non-explosive. However, it is mildly irritant to the skin and eyes. Proper protective measures, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling. Storage in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight is recommended.

4-(Aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C) and protected from light. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid storing it in areas with high humidity and ensure good ventilation to prevent the formation of dust. Do not expose to temperatures above 30°C or below 0°C.
