BICYCLOHEXYL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Bicyclohexyl is a colourless liquid. Solidifies in the cold, melts at 3° C. B.P. 214° C. Sp.Gr. 0.89. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Sweet, mild-aromatic, but rather “chemical” odor.

Uses

Bicyclohexyl can be used high-boiling solvent and penetrant. It Has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, mainly as a modifier in low-cost Geranium, New Mown Hay, Lavender, Rose and other bases.

Uses

Bicyclohexyl is used as process media or solvent in many industries including chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, coatings, photography. And it is also used to produce 1-fluorobicyclohexyl at temperature of -75°C.

Preparation

By catalytic reduction of Diphenyl.

Purification Methods

Shake bicyclohexyl repeatedly with aqueous KMnO4 and with conc H2SO4, wash it with water, dry, first with CaCl2 then with sodium, and distil it. [Mackenzie J Am Chem Soc 77 2214 1955, Beilstein 5 IV 334.]
