BICYCLOHEXYL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

High-boiling solvent and penetrant.

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.

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.]
