CAS 110-82-7: Cyclohexane

Description: Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, commonly used as a nonpolar solvent in various chemical processes. Its molecular formula is C6H12, indicating it is a cycloalkane with a six-membered carbon ring. Cyclohexane is characterized by its relatively low boiling point and melting point compared to other hydrocarbons, making it a useful solvent in organic chemistry. It is non-polar, which allows it to dissolve non-polar substances effectively, while being insoluble in water. Cyclohexane undergoes various chemical reactions, including hydrogenation and oxidation, and can be converted into other important chemicals like nylon and adipic acid. Its structure allows for different conformations, primarily chair and boat forms, with the chair conformation being the most stable due to minimized steric strain. Cyclohexane is also known for its relatively low toxicity, although inhalation of its vapors can lead to dizziness and headaches. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its flammability and potential environmental impact.
