1,1-Diethoxycyclohexane(CAS: 1670-47-9)

1,1-Diethoxycyclohexane (CAS: 1670-47-9) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 150.23 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents. Chemically, it is an ether derivative of cyclohexane. It is moderately reactive, particularly under strong acid or base conditions. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system at low temperatures.

1,1-Diethoxycyclohexane (CAS: 1670-47-9) is typically synthesized via the Grignard reaction of cyclohexanone with diethyl ether. The reaction is usually carried out in anhydrous ether under stirring conditions. The yield is generally high, and the product is isolated by distillation. Catalysts such as magnesium are used to enhance the reactivity and selectivity of the reaction.

1,1-Diethoxycyclohexane (CAS: 1670-47-9) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various drugs, particularly those requiring cyclohexane derivatives. It is also used in the polymer industry to modify the properties of polymers and in the production of sensors and semiconductors for specific electronic applications.

When handling 1,1-Diethoxycyclohexane (CAS: 1670-47-9), ensure the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Store it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Use a fume hood during operations to minimize inhalation risks. In case of spill, contain the spill and clean up using absorbent materials. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
