FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Do CAS 16642-49-2 and CAS 13346-60-6 refer to the same substance?
A: They are used in industry and databases to describe the same structural type of 1‑chloro‑2‑methylcyclohexene, with CAS 16642-49-2 more commonly applied as the primary reference. -
Q:
Is 1-Chloro-2-methyl-1-cyclohexene intended for industrial intermediate use?
A: It is typically used as an intermediate in organic and fine chemical synthesis, rather than as a finished or consumer-facing product.
