1. Basic Information
Name: Cyclohexanol
Alias: Hexahydrophenol
CAS No.: 108-93-0
Molecular Formula: C6H12O
Molecular Weight: 100.16
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless viscous oily liquid, solidifies to crystal below 25℃
- Odor: Mild camphor-like characteristic odor
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; miscible with ethanol, methanol, acetone, benzene, ether and most organic solvents
- Melting Point: 24–26 °C
- Boiling Point: 161–162 °C
- Density: 0.962 g/cm3 (20 °C)
- Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic, can absorb trace water from air
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Six-membered saturated cycloalkane ring with one hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to ring carbon
- Alcohol characteristic: Undergoes esterification with carboxylic acids; dehydration to cyclohexene under acid catalysis; oxidation generates cyclohexanone / adipic acid
- Weak acidity: Hydroxyl group weakly acidic, reacts with strong alkali metal to form cyclohexanolate
- Thermal stability: Stable under normal temperature; high-temperature oxidation produces ketone and carboxylic acid impurities
- Photostability: Stable under indoor light, no obvious degradation
- Compatibility: Compatible with all conventional organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid, alkali metals
3. Main Application Fields
1. Industrial Chemical Intermediate (Core Application)
- Raw material for producing adipic acid, caprolactam (main monomer of nylon 6 and nylon 66)
- Precursor for manufacturing cyclohexanone, plasticizers, synthetic detergents
2. High-Boiling Solvent
- Solvent for coatings, paints, varnishes, printing inks, leather degreasing agent
- Dissolving auxiliary for rubber, cellulose acetate, natural resin
3. Surfactant & Lubricant Raw Material
Synthetic raw material for emulsifiers, metal cutting fluid, textile lubricants
4. Laboratory Analytical Reagent
Organic solvent for extraction, chromatographic eluent auxiliary
