CAS 291-64-5: Cycloheptane

Description: Cycloheptane is a cyclic alkane with the molecular formula C7H14, characterized by a seven-membered carbon ring. It is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive odor reminiscent of gasoline. Cycloheptane has a relatively low boiling point and melting point compared to larger cycloalkanes, reflecting its smaller ring size. The compound is non-polar, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ether and benzene. Its structure allows for various conformations, with the most stable being the chair form, which minimizes steric strain. Cycloheptane is used in organic synthesis and as a solvent, and it serves as a model compound for studying ring strain and reactivity in cyclic hydrocarbons. Additionally, it can undergo reactions typical of alkanes, such as combustion and halogenation. Due to its flammability, proper safety precautions should be observed when handling cycloheptane in laboratory or industrial settings.
