Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with a cyclic arrangement of carbon atoms and a sufficient number of hydrogen atoms. Cyclopentane and cyclohexane are the main cycloalkanes in petroleum. The melting point, boiling point and relative density of cycloalkanes are higher than those of the corresponding straight-chain alkanes. Paraffin naphthenic crude oil with low sulfur content is not only easy to process, but also a good raw material for the production of high-grade lubricating oil. Petroleum, which contains more naphthenes with multi-ring long side chains, is an ideal raw material for high quality lubricating oils. CHEMENU introduces you to several commonly used cycloalkanes and their uses.
Cyclopropane is slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in ethanol, ether and other organic solvents. It has the strongest effect in gas anesthetics and has a certain respiratory inhibitory effect. It can be used for anesthesia of horses, cattle, pigs and other animals.
In industrial production and use, this product generally has no obvious harm to the human body. Stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Stay away from spark and heat source. The reservoir temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Should be stored separately from oxidants and halogens, and avoid mixed storage. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. The use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks is prohibited.
Cyclobutane is an organic compound of cycloalkanes. Cyclobutane is a colorless gas, and cyclobutane can also be purchased in the form of liquefied gas. Cyclobutane is a colorless, flammable and non-toxic gas at room temperature and pressure, and it is easy to liquefy. the stability of cyclobutane is stronger than that of cyclopropane. It is mainly used for physiological and chemical research of four-ring, solvent and synthetic intermediates.
The derivatives of cyclobutane are called cyclobutane compounds. Cyclobutane itself does not have commercial or biological significance, but more complex derivatives are important in biology and biotechnology.
Cyclopentane is a five-carbon cycloalkane. At room temperature, it is a colorless, clear, highly flammable liquid with a gasoline-like smell. Insoluble in water, but soluble in benzene, alcohol, ether, carbon tetrachloride and other organic solvents.
Cyclopentane is one of the components of petroleum ether. It can be obtained by catalytic reforming of isopentane in the presence of platinum. Cyclopentane can be used as solvent, foaming agent (instead of Freon) in the preparation of polyurethane foam and reference materials for chromatographic analysis. Because it does not contain chlorine and fluorine, it has also been used as a refrigerant in recent years to replace the refrigerant containing chlorofluorine. It can also be used as standard reference material for chromatographic analysis, solvent, engine fuel, azeotropic distilling agent.
Cyclohexane is a kind of cycloalkanes, also known as hexahydro benzene. It is used as a non-polar solvent in the chemical industry, such as rubber, paint, varnish, adhesive diluent, oil extractant.
Cyclohexane is used as a reactant in the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam and as an intermediate in the production of nylon. Because of its low toxicity, it is often used instead of benzene for degreasing, greasing and paint removal. It can also be used as analytical reagent, photoresist solvent, essential oil extraction and so on. The ring structure of cyclohexane is very important, and its geometry has been widely studied.
