Hexadecylcyclohexane, with the CAS number 6812-38-0, is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrophobic hexadecyl chain attached to a cyclohexane ring. This structure imparts unique properties, making it a non-polar substance with limited solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including surfactants, lubricants, and as a component in formulations requiring hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the cyclohexane ring provides stability and rigidity, while the long alkyl chain enhances its hydrophobic nature. Hexadecylcyclohexane is typically colorless to pale yellow and may exhibit a waxy texture. Its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, are influenced by the length of the alkyl chain and the cyclic structure. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are in place during its use in industrial or laboratory settings.

Hexadecylcyclohexane

Hexadecylcyclohexane is a solid chemical that is used as a solvent for polyester resins, acrylonitrile, and other organic compounds. It has been found to be an effective antiviral agent against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hexadecylcyclohexane can also be used as a marker to measure the average particle diameter of emissions. This thermally stable liquid is not toxic to animals and has a low thermal expansion coefficient.
