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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
