cyclohexylamine
Also known as Hexahydro-Benzenamine, CHA, 1-AMINO-CYCLOHEXANE, Hexahydrobenzenamine, Cyclohexylamine [UN2357] [Corrosive], 1-Aminocyclohexane, Hexahydro-Aniline, Cyclohexanamine, 9CI
Cyclohexylamine is an organic compound, belonging to the aliphatic amine class. It is a colorless liquid, although, like many amines, samples are often colored due to contaminants. It has a fishy odor and is miscible with water. Like other amines, it is a weak base, compared to strong bases such as NaOH, but it is a stronger base than its aromatic analog, aniline.

Cyclohexylamine is an organic compound, belonging to the aliphatic amine class. It is a colorless liquid, although, like many amines, samples are often colored due to contaminants. It has a fishy odor and is miscible with water. Like other amines, it is a weak base, compared to strong bases such as NaOH, but it is a stronger base than its aromatic analog, aniline.
It is a useful intermediate in the production of many other organic compounds (e.g. cyclamate)
