Chemical Name: 1-Cyclohexyl-N-Butane
Synonyms: None widely recognized in public sector literature
Recommended Use: Specialized chemical synthesis and research
Physical Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Odor: Faint hydrocarbon scent, somewhat reminiscent of wet plastic
Chemical Formula: C10H20
Classification: Flammable liquid, moderate acute toxicity by inhalation and skin contact, may cause irritation
Signal Word: Warning
Hazard Statements: Highly flammable liquid and vapor, may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin, potential to cause drowsiness, dizziness, or mild skin reactions for those without gloves
Precautionary Statements: Keep away from open flames, heated surfaces, sparks, and static discharge. Use with adequate ventilation. Wear gloves and eye protection. Avoid inhalation of vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, skin absorption, eye contact
Main Component: 1-Cyclohexyl-N-Butane, high purity
Impurities: Typically minimal if prepared for research; standard side-products include minor cyclic hydrocarbons at less than 1% per peer-reviewed literature
CAS Number: 2228-68-8
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, allow the person to rest, seek medical attention if they feel dizzy or have trouble breathing
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult a doctor if irritation appears
Eye Contact: Gently rinse with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, expect minor stinging
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, avoid inducing vomiting, seek medical help if feeling unwell after swallowing
Symptoms to Watch: Mild throat burn, nausea, brief skin redness, dryness
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or CO₂ extinguishers, water spray for cooling containers only
Flammable Properties: Ignites easily, invisible vapors can travel beyond spill area and flash back
Special Protection: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective gear
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, potentially some soot or hydrocarbons
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Containers may rupture if heated, fire can rapidly propagate under windy lab conditions
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, ventilate affected area, remove possible ignition sources
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with sand or commercial absorbent, scoop into labeled containers, ventilate remains, wash area with detergent and water
Environmental Cautions: Prevent liquid from entering drains, sewers, or waterways. Limit runoff with dikes if possible. Notify relevant authorities if contamination occurs in sensitive natural sites
Safe Handling Tips: Work behind fume hoods when indoors, ground containers during transfer, avoid splashing
Recommended Storage: Store in air-tight, flame-resistant containers in cool, well-ventilated spaces separate from oxidizers and acids
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, peroxides, acids
Storage Temperature: Below 25°C if possible
Handling Precautions: Keep only in original, clearly labeled containers, use tools made from spark-resistant materials
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, explosion-proof wiring and outlets in work area
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, safety goggles, lab coats, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: Use an approved respirator when vapor concentration goes beyond published exposure guidelines
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before breaks, after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse
Molecular Weight: 140.27 g/mol
Boiling Point: Estimated 155-180°C based on similar compounds
Melting Point: Around -99°C
Density: Approx. 0.82 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Moderate at room temperature
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water, mixes with most organic solvents
Appearance: Clear, low-viscosity liquid
Flash Point: Around 40°C in open cup tests
Odor Threshold: Detectable at concentrations above 100 ppm
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling
Reactivity: May react violently with strong oxidizers, slow breakdown in direct sunlight
Hazardous Decomposition: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possible low amounts of various hydrocarbons
Polymerization: Will not occur under normal conditions
Acute Effects: Brief exposure may lead to headache, nausea, short-term dizziness, mild skin or eye irritation
Chronic Exposure: Extended contact can aggravate skin dryness or cause contact dermatitis, breathing high vapor levels linked with fatigue
LD50 (Oral): Not widely available, but structurally similar compounds suggest moderate oral toxicity in lab mammals
Sensitization: Not reported commonly, but sensitive individuals should remain cautious
Carcinogenicity: Not designated as a known carcinogen by major global health agencies
Environmental Impact: Not rapidly biodegradable; tends to partition to soil and sediments
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Moderate to high based on estimated data and analog structures
Potential for Bioaccumulation: Exists, likely to remain in aquatic organisms
Actions to Protect Environment: Steps should be taken to contain and capture spills, avoid disposal into wastewater channels
Safe Disposal: Incinerate in facilities approved for chemical wastes, separate from normal solid or liquid waste streams
Container Disposal: Triple-rinse prior to recycling or landfill if local regulations allow, puncture and remove labels
Regulatory Requirements: Follow federal, local, and provincial regulations regarding hazardous waste management
UN Number: Classified as flammable liquid in bulk
Packing Group: Group II for moderately hazardous liquids
Special Transport Precautions: Never ship with oxidizers, store upright, keep away from heat during transport, ensure drums or bottles are secure
Labeling: Flammable Liquid mark, use proper placards if shipping in bulk
Chemical Regulations: Registration may be required under national chemical inventories
Labeling Laws: Comply with Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for hazard communication on packaging
Worker Protection: Handlers must have access to proper PPE, emergency eyewash, and safety training
Community Right to Know: Neighborhoods near storage sites deserve notification of its hazards when stored in bulk
