Description

Methylcyclohexane is a cyclic alkane with the molecular formula C7H14. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a gasoline-like odor. It is a major component of gasoline and is also used as a solvent. Methylcyclohexane is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of toluene. It is also a byproduct of the production of benzene. Methylcyclohexane is a relatively unreactive compound, but it can be oxidized to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. Methylcyclohexane is studied for its potential as a fuel additive and as a feedstock for the production of other chemicals. It is also a model compound for the study of the properties of cyclic alkanes.'
