1-Hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid (1-HCHC), also referred to as 1-hydroxycyclohexane carboxylic acid or 1-cyclohexylhydroxyacetic acid, emerges as a notable organic compound within the hydroxy acid family. Its physical manifestation takes the form of a white solid with a melting point of 155-156° C. In scientific research, 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid assumes a prominent role as a vital reagent for the synthesis of various compounds. Moreover, 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid finds utility as a substrate for enzymatic reactions aimed at synthesizing polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid. Remarkably, 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid exhibits inhibitory properties toward the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). By impeding the activity of COX, 1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid effectively reduces the production of prostaglandins.
