Descriptions:
pubchem: 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol is an alicyclic primary alcohol that is cyclohexane substituted by a hydroxy methyl group and methyl group at positions 1 and 4. It acts as a hydrotrope, solubilizing hydrophobic substances in aqueous environments. It also prevents protein aggregation, alters membrane dynamics and metal homeostasis, and is used in a flotation process for cleaning and processing coal. It is a primary alcohol, an aliphatic alcohol and a carbocyclic compound.

wikipedia: 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (MCHM, systematic name 4-methylcyclohexylmethanol) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H10CH2OH.  Classified as a saturated higher alicyclic primary alcohol.  Both cis and trans isomers exist, depending on the relative positions of the methyl (CH3) and hydroxymethyl (CH2OH) groups on the cyclohexane ring.  Commercial samples of MCHM consists of a mixture of these isomers as well as other components that vary with the supplier.

It is a colourless oil with a faint mint-like alcohol odor. The trans isomer has a particularly low odor threshold (~7 ppb in water) and a more licorice-like quality which is not associated with the less detectable cis isomer. Like other 8-carbon alcohols, such as 1-octanol, this compound is only slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in many organic solvents.  The solubility of 1-octanol in water is 2.3 grams per liter.
