AI overview

Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid made of carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged in a ring, known for its detergent-like smell and sometimes used in cleaning products. It is mainly important as an industrial chemical used to make adipic acid and caprolactam, which are key ingredients in the production of nylon.

Le cyclohexane est un hydrocarbure alicyclique non éthylénique de la famille des (mono)cycloalcanes de formule brute C6H12. Le cyclohexane est utilisé comme solvant apolaire dans l'industrie chimique, mais aussi comme réactif pour la production industrielle de l'acide adipique et du caprolactame, intermédiaires utilisés dans la production du nylon. La formule topologique du cyclohexane est présentée ci-contre.
