General Description

(1S,2R)-2-methyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)cyclohexanol is a chemical compound with a molecular formula of C13H20O. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it has a non-superimposable mirror image, and is also known as pseudoephedrine. (1S,2R)-2-methyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)cyclohexanol is commonly used as a nasal decongestant due to its ability to reduce nasal congestion and improve airflow. It works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and allows for easier breathing. Additionally, it has stimulant properties and is sometimes used as a performance-enhancing drug. However, it is a controlled substance in many countries due to its potential for misuse and abuse.
