Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a mild, sweet odor. It is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the production of nylon via cyclohexanone and adipic acid. Cyclohexane is widely used in the chemical industry, including coatings, adhesives, degreasers, and in laboratory settings. It is immiscible with water but miscible with most organic solvents, and it evaporates quickly due to its low boiling point.
