Cyclohexanes

Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula . Cyclohexane is non-polar. Cyclohexane is a colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products (in which it is sometimes used). Cyclohexane is mainly used for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, which are precursors to nylon.

Menthone is a chemical compound of the monoterpene class of naturally occurring organic compounds found in a number of essential oils, one that presents with minty flavor. It is a specific pair of stereoisomers of the four possible such isomers for the chemical structure, 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone. Of those, the stereoisoomer '''l-menthone'—formally, the (2S,5R)-trans'' isomer of that structure, as shown at right—is the most abundant in nature. Menthone is structurally related to menthol, which has a secondary alcohol (>C-OH) in place of the carbon-oxygen double bond (carbonyl group) p

Basketane is a polycyclic alkane with the chemical formula C10H12. The name is taken from its structural similarity to a basket shape. Basketane was first synthesized in 1966, independently by Masamune and Dauben and Whalen.

Nateglinide (INN, trade name Starlix) is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Nateglinide was developed by Ajinomoto, a Japanese company and sold by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis.

Semustine (1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea, MeCCNU) is an alkylating nitrosourea compound used in chemotherapy treatment of various types of tumours. Due to its lipophilic property, semustine can cross the blood-brain barrier for the chemotherapy of brain tumours, where it interferes with DNA replication in the rapidly-dividing tumour cells. Semustine, just as lomustine, is administered orally. Evidence has been found that treatment with semustine can cause acute leukaemia as a delayed effect in very rare cases.

Cyclohexanehexone, also known as hexaketocyclohexane and triquinoyl, is an organic compound with formula , the sixfold ketone of cyclohexane. It is an oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon), a hexamer of carbon monoxide.

Mesotrione is a selective herbicide used mainly in maize crops and has also been shown to have weak insecticidal properties. It is a synthetic compound inspired by the natural substance leptospermone found in the bottlebrush tree Callistemon citrinus. It inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and is sold under brand names including Callisto and Tenacity. It was first marketed by Syngenta in 2001.

Norcarane, or bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane, is a colorless liquid. It is an organic compound prepared using the Simmons–Smith reaction, by the action of diiodomethane and a zinc-copper couple on cyclohexene in diethyl ether.

1,4-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula . This white solid is one of the three isomeric cyclohexanediones. This particular diketone is used as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules.

Methylenecyclohexane (IUPAC name: methylidenecyclohexane) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H12.

Arterolane, also known as OZ277 or RBx 11160, is an antimalarial compound marketed by Ranbaxy Laboratories. It was discovered by US and European scientists coordinated by the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV). Its molecular structure is uncommon for pharmacological compounds in that it has both an ozonide (trioxolane) group and an adamantane substituent.

Ciclonicate is a vasodilator.

chemical compound

'''p-Menthane' is a hydrocarbon with the formula (CH3)2CHC6H10CH3. It is the product of the hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis of various terpenoids, including p-cymene, terpinolenes, phellandrene, and limonene. It is a colorless liquid with a fragrant fennel-like odor. It occurs naturally, especially in exudates of Eucalyptus fruits. The compound is generally encountered as a mixture of the cis and trans'' isomers, which have very similar properties

ISRIB (short for "integrated stress response inhibitor") is an experimental tool compound that blocks the integrated stress response, restoring the cell’s translation capacity. It showed promising results in mouse models of brain disorders but efforts to develop a drug based on it, had failed as of 2025.

'''trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane' is an organic compound with the formula C6H10(NH2)2. This diamine is a building block for C''2-symmetric ligands that are useful in asymmetric catalysis.

Bromadoline (U-47931E) is an opioid analgesic selective for the μ-opioid receptor developed by the Upjohn company in the 1970s. The drug has a potency lying between that of codeine and morphine, being slightly stronger than pentazocine. Bromadoline is related to AH-7921 and U-47700.

chemical compound

Rociverine is an antispasmodic drug used to treat urinary, gastrointestinal and biliary spasms. It is antimuscarinic drug.

Pinane describes a pair of isomeric hydrocarbons. The isomers, actually diastereomers, are both chiral. They are the cis and trans isomers arising from the hydrogenation of the terpenes pinene. Both isomers undergo reaction with air (autoxidation) to give 2-pinane hydroperoxides. Partial reduction of these isomers gives 2-pinanol. Pyrolysis of pinane gives dimethyloctadienes, which can be further transformed into the fragrance chemical dihydromyrcenol. thumb|center|Formation of dimethyloctadienes

Irones are a group of methylionone odorants used in perfumery, derived from iris oil, e.g. orris root. The most commercially important of these are:

1,2-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula . It is one of three isomeric cyclohexanediones. It is a colorless compound that is soluble in a variety of organic solvents. It can be prepared by oxidation of cyclohexanone by selenium dioxide. The enol is about 1 kcal/mol more stable than the diketo form.
