Introduction
Cyclohexane ethanol is a chemical. The following is information on the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety of cyclohexane ethanol:
1. Nature:
Cyclohexaneethanol is a colorless liquid with a special aromatic odor. It is not easily soluble in water, but it can be soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers. Cyclohexane ethanol has medium volatility and medium vapor pressure, and is relatively stable at room temperature.
2. Usage:
Cyclohexane ethanol is widely used in the chemical industry. It can be used as a solvent in areas such as coatings, inks, dyes, glues and detergents. It can also be used as a starting material or intermediate in organic synthesis reactions.
3. Method:
A common method of preparation of cyclohexane ethanol is obtained by oxidation of cyclohexane and ethylene. In this process, ethylene reacts with oxygen under the action of a catalyst to produce cyclohexane ethanol.
4. Safety Information: It is toxic to the human body and may have an irritating effect on the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. When storing and handling cyclohexane ethanol, care should be taken to avoid contact with ignition sources and store in a well-ventilated area.
