| Application: | Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was used in a study to determine complex binding constants of the three native cyclodextrins with seven cyclohexane derivatives. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid undergoes microbial degradation by a strain of Antherobacter to form para-hydroxybenzoic acid. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid undergoes aromatization and converts to Hippuric acid in rat liver extracts in vitro. Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid is the starting reagent for the synthesis of polyketide-type antibiotics, Phoslactomycins. |
