Cyclohexylamine is a clear colorless to yellow liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is produced through the reaction of ammonia and cyclohexanol or by catalytic hydrogenation of aniline. Primarily employed as a corrosion inhibitor in boiler water treatment, it also serves as a chemical intermediate in various applications, including rubber processing, dye production, artificial sweeteners (cyclamate), herbicides, and nylon fiber manufacturing.
Cyclohexylamine is a severe irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Skin contact can cause burns, and exposure to vapors may lead to narcotic effects. It is flammable and poses a fire hazard. The substance is considered corrosive and incompatible with certain materials. Disposal methods include incineration with proper emission control.

Cyclohexylamine is an organic compound classified within the aliphatic amine class. It is characterized by a cyclic structure and contains amine functional groups.
Although Cyclohexylamine is a colorless liquid, samples can often exhibit coloration due to contaminants. The presence of impurities in the amine can lead to discoloration, a common phenomenon observed in many amine compounds.
Cyclohexylamine is known for its distinct fishy odor. This olfactory characteristic is often associated with a pungent and somewhat unpleasant smell.
Cyclohexylamine is miscible with water, indicating that it can be readily dissolved in water. This property enhances its applicability in various processes where water compatibility is essential.
Cyclohexylamine finds utility in different industrial applications, such as in the production of pharmaceuticals, rubber chemicals, and corrosion inhibitors. Its versatile nature and compatibility with various substances contribute to its widespread use in chemical processes.
