Cyclohexylamine

Cyclohexylamine is an organic compound, belonging to the aliphatic amine class.

It is a useful intermediate in the production of many other organic compounds (e.g. cyclamate) Cyclohexylamine is produced by two routes, the main one being the complete hydrogenation of aniline using some cobalt- or nickel-based catalysts:[4] It is also prepared by alkylation of ammonia using cyclohexanol.

Most of the drugs in the following list fall into the arena of sulfonamide hypoglycemics though: Cyclohexylamine has a low acute toxicity with LD50 (rat; p.o.)

Cyclohexylamine is listed as an extremely hazardous substance as defined by Section 302 of the U.S.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has suggested workers not be exposed to a recommended exposure limit of over 10 ppm (40 mg/m3) over an eight-hour workshift.

NFPA 704 four-colored diamond Health 3: Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury. E.g. chlorine gas Flammability 3: Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions. Flash point between 23 and 38 °C (73 and 100 °F). E.g. gasoline Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
