Cyclohexylamine, 98+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Cyclohexylamine is a useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It acts as a precursor to prepare pendant-armed dialdehydes, bromohexine HCl and sulfenamide-based reagents. It is widely used in the production of vulcanization accelerators like N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfonamide (CBS) and artificial sweeteners (cyclamates). As a corrosion inhibitor, it is used in the treatment of boiler water and prevents corrosion of metal surfaces that arise due to dissolved carbon dioxide. It is involved as a solvent in the synthesis of an inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor, ZnS/CHA (CHA = cyclohexylamine) nanocomposites.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
