Ethylcyclohexane is a chemical compound from the group of saturated cyclic hydrocarbons and is therefore also one of the alicyclics .
Occurrence
Ethylcyclohexane is found in tobacco smoke.
Extraction and presentation
Ethylcyclohexane can be obtained by reduction from 1-ethylcyclohexene or ethylbenzene .
properties
Ethylcyclohexane is a colorless, highly flammable liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor that is practically insoluble in water.
use
Ethylcyclohexane is used to produce other chemical compounds (for example the acaricide Omit or the flame retardant TBECH ).
safety instructions
The vapors of ethylcyclohexane can form an explosive mixture with air ( flash point 18 ° C, ignition temperature 260 ° C).
