Product Overview

Cyclohexane 99.5% Specially Dried AR (CAS No. 110-82-7) is an analytical-reagent form of cyclohexane processed to limit the contribution of water introduced through the solvent. Its non-polar character and reduced-moisture positioning support analytical and preparative procedures in which solvent-borne water could affect reagent stability, phase behaviour or reaction outcome.

The Specially Dried AR grade is intended for moisture-sensitive reagent preparation, extraction and reaction procedures requiring controlled water content.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of moisture-sensitive analytical reagent solutions.
• Extraction procedures in which solvent-borne water can affect phase separation.
• Non-polar reaction medium for water-sensitive transformations.
• Washing and solvent-exchange procedures requiring reduced-moisture cyclohexane.
• Preparation and handling of moisture-sensitive organometallic or coordination reagents.
• Analytical blank and method-development work requiring specially dried hydrocarbon solvent.

Common Synonyms

• Specially Dried Cyclohexane
• Dry Cyclohexane
• Hexamethylene
• Hexahydrobenzene
• Hexanaphthene
• Cyclohexane

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed container protected from moisture, humid air, excessive heat, evaporation and contamination. Minimise opening and use suitably dry dispensing practices to preserve the reduced-moisture character.
