Applications
Cyclohexylamine is a useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It acts as a precursor to prepare pendant-armed dialdehydes, bromohexine HCl and sulfenamide-based reagents. It is widely used in the production of vulcanization accelerators like N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfonamide (CBS) and artificial sweeteners (cyclamates). As a corrosion inhibitor, it is used in the treatment of boiler water and prevents corrosion of metal surfaces that arise due to dissolved carbon dioxide. It is involved as a solvent in the synthesis of an inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor, ZnS/CHA (CHA = cyclohexylamine) nanocomposites.

Solubility
Miscible with water, ethanol, ethers, acetone, alcohol and ketones.

Notes
Air and moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, carbon dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, organic acids, mineral acids and peroxides.
