Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H12, consisting of a ring of six carbon atoms bonded together. It is a colorless and flammable liquid with a distinctively mild odor. Cyclohexane is a fundamental organic compound that serves as a key building block in the synthesis of various chemicals and materials. Its most prominent use is as a nonpolar solvent in industrial applications, particularly in the production of paints, adhesives, and coatings. Due to its nonpolarity and lack of functional groups, cyclohexane is an excellent medium for dissolving a wide range of substances. It is also utilized in the laboratory for reactions that require a nonreactive solvent environment. In addition to its industrial applications, cyclohexane plays a role in the field of organic chemistry, serving as a common starting material for the synthesis of other cyclic compounds. While generally considered low in toxicity, proper handling and storage precautions should be observed to ensure safety in industrial and laboratory settings.
