Abstract
THE cyclohexanols C6H12−n(OH)n and their methyl derivatives are of considerable interest from the point of view of biochemistry. It has been known for some time that these substances can, according to theory, exist in a great number of isomeric forms.1 The following table shows the number of possible isomers for various values of n, on the assumption of a plane ring structure for the cyclohexane nucleus:
