Ethylcyclohexane

Description:
Ethylcyclohexane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C8H16, characterized by a cyclohexane ring with an ethyl group attached. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive sweet odor reminiscent of gasoline. Ethylcyclohexane is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Its boiling point is higher than that of cyclohexane due to the presence of the ethyl substituent, which also contributes to its slightly higher density. This compound is primarily used as a solvent in various chemical processes and as a component in the formulation of fuels and lubricants. Ethylcyclohexane is stable under normal conditions but can undergo combustion, producing carbon dioxide and water. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with ethylcyclohexane in laboratory or industrial settings.
