Description

Cyclohexyl chloride is an inorganic acid that is used to synthesize pharmaceutical preparations. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to form cyclohexane chloride and hydrochloric acid, which are both soluble in water. The reaction mechanism of cyclohexyl chloride is similar to the reaction mechanism of other inorganic acids like sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrofluoric acid. Cyclohexyl chloride has also been shown to exhibit properties of a fatty acid, because it can be esterified with carboxylic acids or alcohols. Cyclohexyl chloride is also a light-sensitive compound that undergoes conformational changes when exposed to light. This compound has a phase transition temperature at −14.4 °C and decomposes above 220 °C. It has been shown that cyclohexyl chloride can react with carbon disulphide to form dicyclohexylurea and hydrogen sulfide.
