| Cyclohexene Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Cyclohexene (C6H10, CAS registry No. 110-83-8) is also called tetrahydrobenzene, which is colorless flammable liquid. It is insoluble in water. Inhalation of high concentrations may have a narcotic effect. Cyclohexene is highly flammable, so it should keep away from heat and open flame. It may form peroxides in storage, so it should be stored in the absence of air. It may cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | Preparation | Cyclohexene can be synthesized by several ways, such as dehydrogenation of cyclohexane, dehydration of cyclohexanol, dehydrohalogenation of halogenated cyclohexane, Birch reduction or partial hydrogenation of benzene. Compared with other methods,the technology of partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene is of the advantage of safety, high atom-economy, environmentally friendly. The partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene has been known for more than 100 years. | Cycloolefin | Cyclohexene is a cyclic olefin, and is a colorless, flammable liquid with a special pungent odor at room temperature. Long-term placement in the air it can be oxidated into peroxide by air. Naturally present in coal tar, soluble in acetone, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, ether, hexane, ethanol and other organic solvents, can form binary azeotrope with lower alcohols, acetic acid, etc. Cyclohexene has the general nature of olefin, decomposes rapidly in the presence of uranium salts under sunlight or ultraviolet rays, is constant as being heated in a sealed tube at 200 ℃ for a long time, forms benzene and naphthalene at 400~500 ℃.
It is obtained by dehydration of cyclohexanol at high temperature in the presence of an acid catalyst in industrial. It is obtained by sulfated dehydration of cyclohexanol in the laboratory.

| Chemical properties | Colorless flammable liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in ether.
| Selective Oxidation | Cyclohexene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. Though simple in its chemical structure, there are two potential oxidation sites in cyclohexene, and the usual oxidation reactions generally lead to a mixture of products with different oxidation states and functional groups: oxidation of the C=C bond (site a) can lead to 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane, trans/cis-cyclohexane-1,2-diol, or adipic acid; oxidation at the allylic C-H position (site b) may produce cyclohex-2-en-1-ol or cyclohex-2-en-1-one. These products are useful industrial intermediates that have been widely employed in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, pesticide chemistry, materials science, etc. Therefore, controllable oxidation reactions for cyclohexene that can selectively afford the targeted products are synthetically valuable for applications in both the academy and industry, thus becoming the aim of synthetic and catalytic chemists in the field. | Uses |

(1). | Definition | ChEBI: A cycloalkene that is cylohexane with a single double bond. | General Description | A colorless liquid. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Flash point 20°F. Vapors heavier than air. Inhalation of high concentrations may have a narcotic effect. Used to make other chemicals. | Air & Water Reactions | Highly flammable. Insoluble in water. | Reactivity Profile | Cyclohexene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154]. | Health Hazard | There are very few toxicological data availableon cyclohexene. Inhalation producesirritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Itis also an irritant to skin. Its acute toxicityis low; the toxic effects are similar to thoseof cyclohexane. Exposure to high concentrationsor ingestion may cause drowsiness.Single exposures to 15,000 ppm of cyclohexenecould be lethal to rats. | Fire Hazard | HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
inhalation and ingestion. A very dangerous
fire hazard when exposed to flame; can react
with oxidizers. Dangerous; keep away fromheat and open flame. To fight fire, use foam,
CO2, dry chemical. | Potential Exposure | May be used as an intermediate in
making other chemicals (e.g., adipic acid, maleic acid, hex-
ahydro benzoic acid), oil extraction and as a catalyst
solvent. | First aid | If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. | Carcinogenicity | Cyclohexene was not mutagenic in Salmonella

3-Flammable liquid. | Purification Methods | Free cyclohexene from peroxides by washing with successive portions of dilute acidified ferrous sulfate, or with NaHSO3 solution, then with distilled water, drying with CaCl2 or CaSO4, and distilling under N2. Alternative methods for removing peroxides include passage through a column of alumina, refluxing with sodium wire or cupric stearate (then distilling from sodium). The diene is removed by refluxing with maleic anhydride before distilling under vacuum. Treatment with 0.1moles of MeMgI in 40mL of diethyl ether removes traces of oxygenated impurities. Other purification procedures include washing with aqueous NaOH, drying and distilling under N2 through a spinning band column, redistilling from CaH2, storing under sodium wire, and passing through a column of alumina, under N2, immediately before use. Store it at <0o under argon. [Coleman & Johnstone Org Synth Coll Vol I 83 1955, Carson & Ipatieff Org Synth Coll Vol II 152 1943, Woon et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 7990 1986, Wong et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 3428 1987.] [Beilstein 5 IV 218.] | Toxicity evaluation | The release of cyclohexene into the air occurs in the form of
waste streams from manufacturing units. Cyclohexene has
a vapor pressure of 89mm Hg at 25°C, indicating that it exists
as a vapor form in the environment and is degraded by reactions
with photochemically induced hydroxyl radicals, ozone,
and nitrate radicals. The half-life for these reactions in the air is
6, 2, and 4 h, respectively.
Estimated Koc of 850 indicates that cyclohexene has low
mobility in the soil. Cyclohexene has Henry’s law constant of
4.55×10-2atm-m3 mol-1. Based on this Henry’s law constant,
volatilization is expected to be the major process of removal of
cyclohexene from moist soil and water, if released into it. | Incompatibilities | Vapor may form explosive mixture with
air. The substance can form explosive peroxides. The sub-
stance may polymerize under certain conditions.
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides,
permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine,
etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away
from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoa-
cids, epoxides. | Waste Disposal | Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinera-
tor equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal,
state, and local environmental regulations must be
observed. |
