| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Uses]
Nitrocyclohexane is an important chemical intermediate and organic solvent. Due to its unique reactivity and physicochemical properties, it has become an important raw material in the fields of pharmaceuticals, surfactants, solvents, lubricants and emulsifiers, and can produce nearly two thousand derivatives. |

Colorless to dark yellow liquid | [Definition]
ChEBI: A C-nitro compound that is cyclohexane in which a single hydrogen is replaced by a nitro group. | [General Description]
Colorless liquid. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Highly Flammable | [Reactivity Profile]
Nitroalkanes, such as NITROCYCLOHEXANE, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes with more than one nitro group are generally explosive. Nitroalkanes are insoluble in water. Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. | [Potential Exposure]
Used in organic synthesis. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Speed in removing material from skin
is of extreme importance. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions,
including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and
CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a
medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed,
get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and
induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person
vomit. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body
temperature. Effects may be delayed; keep victim under
observation. | [Shipping]
UN3382 Toxic by inhalation liquid, n.o.s. with
an LC50 lower than or equal to 1000 ml/m3 and saturated
vapor concentration ≥10 LC50, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels:
6.1 Technical Name Required, Inhalation Hazard Zone B. | [Incompatibilities]
A nitro compound; a fire and explosive
hazard. May form explosive mixture with air.
Nitrocyclohexane, a nitroalkane, is a strong oxidizing agents.
If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides
and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates
in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing
agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher
temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic
bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides
increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes
with more than one nitro group are generally explosive.
Incompatible with alkalis, and metal oxides. This chemical is
highly reactive and may be heat-and shock-sensitive. | [Waste Disposal]
Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical
incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber.
All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must
be observed. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
