tert-Butylcyclohexane(CAS#3178-22-1)

tert-Butylcyclohexane, whose CAS number is 3178 – 22 – 1, is an important member of the family of organic compounds.
In terms of molecular structure, it consists of a cyclohexane ring attached to a tert-butyl group. This unique structure gives it a relatively stable chemical property. In appearance, it generally appears as a colorless and transparent liquid, with a smell similar to gasoline, but relatively light.
In terms of physical properties, it has a low boiling and melting point, which means that it is more volatile at room temperature and pressure, and has potential applications in some scenarios where volatile substances are required. In terms of solubility, it can be well miscible with common non-polar organic solvents, such as benzene and hexane, and is convenient to participate in various organic reaction systems.
At the level of chemical activity, due to the steric hindrance effect of the tert-butyl group, the reactivity of some positions on the cyclohexane ring is affected, and when some electrophilic addition reactions occur selectively, the reaction sites often avoid the region where the tert-butyl group is located, which provides manipulability for organic synthesis chemists to accurately construct complex molecular structures.
In industrial applications, it is one of the starting materials for synthetic fragrances, which can be transformed through a series of chemical reactions to produce fragrance components with unique aroma and long-lasting fragrance properties, which are used in perfumes, cosmetics and other products; In the rubber industry, it is used as a rubber processing aid to improve the flexibility and processing performance of rubber, make rubber products smoother in molding, vulcanization and other processes, and improve product quality; At the same time, it also plays a key role as a raw material in the synthesis route of some drug intermediates in the pharmaceutical field, helping to develop new drugs and contributing to the cause of human health.
Although tert-Butylcyclohexane is widely used, it is flammable, and the storage and transportation process must be kept away from fire and heat sources, fire and explosion prevention measures must be taken, and operators must strictly follow safety regulations to avoid dangerous accidents and ensure the safety and orderly progress of production and life. In short, it plays a non-negligible role in many industries and promotes the development of related industries.
