bicyclohexyl

Bicyclohexyl is a chemical compound with the formula C12H22. It is a saturated hydrocarbon, meaning it consists solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by single bonds. Specifically, it is a bicyclic alkane, where two cyclohexane rings are joined together. Its structure can be visualized as two six-membered carbon rings sharing a common bond. Bicyclohexyl exists as several stereoisomers due to the different possible arrangements of the hydrogen atoms and the orientation of the rings relative to each other.

This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature. It is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. Bicyclohexyl has a relatively high boiling point. Its primary uses are as a component in certain chemical syntheses and as a research chemical. It is not commonly found in everyday consumer products. Information regarding its specific reactivity and physical properties is often found in chemical literature and databases. Like many organic compounds, it should be handled with appropriate safety precautions.
