Methylcyclohexane(CAS#108-87-2)
Quality:
1. Methylcyclohexane is an organic compound.
2. It is a colorless liquid with an odor similar to cyclohexane.
Use:
1. Methylcyclohexane is often used as a solvent and has a wide range of applications in chemical experiments, industrial production and daily life.
2. It can dissolve many organic compounds, such as fat, gum, crude oil, etc.
3. Methylcyclohexane can also be used as an ingredient in coatings, detergents, sprays, etc.
Method:
There are two main methods for the preparation of methylcyclohexane: one is obtained by hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a catalyst, and the other is synthesized by environmentally friendly bioprocessing. Biosynthesis is the use of enzymes produced by microbial metabolism to catalyze the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to convert cyclohexane into methylcyclohexane.
Safety Information:
1. Methylcyclohexane is flammable and may cause fire when exposed to fire sources.
2. Its vapor also has an anesthetic effect, and excessive inhalation may lead to central nervous system depression, dizziness, nausea, dizziness and other uncomfortable symptoms.
3. When using methylcyclohexane, attention should be paid to strengthening ventilation to avoid inhalation and contact with the skin.
4. If it accidentally comes into contact with the skin, it should be rinsed with plenty of water immediately and treated with medical attention.
5. Attention should be paid to preventing fire and avoiding exposure to sunlight during storage and transportation.
