Cyclohexyl Methyl Ether is an aliphatic ether also called methoxycyclohexane or methyl cyclohexyl ether. CAS 931-56-6 and formula C7H14O identify this material. Confirm identity against the product name, CAS number and an agreed analytical profile.
Quality controls for purchasing
- Request GC assay and limits for named process-relevant impurities using agreed analytical methods.
- Define water, acidity, color, distillation range and nonvolatile residue for solvent-sensitive processes.
- Confirm peroxide testing, stabilization policy, storage history and retest guidance when required by the application.
Applications and grade selection
Cyclohexyl Methyl Ether may be assessed as an organic ether in solvent or synthesis processes. Suitability depends on the actual process; buyers should compare dissolution, reaction selectivity, recovery, residue and material compatibility under their own conditions.
Storage and handling
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry and ventilated place away from heat, ignition sources, strong oxidizers and acids. Apply bonding and grounding during transfer where required, and manage peroxide risk according to the supplier SDS and site procedure.
Documentation and quotation details
State the intended process, assay, water, acidity, distillation range, any peroxide-control requirement, quantity, destination and required packaging conditions. Request current specification, SDS and transport information for the proposed material before approval.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are Cyclohexyl Methyl Ether and Methoxycyclohexane the same substance?
A: Yes. Cyclohexyl Methyl Ether, Methoxycyclohexane and 1-Methoxycyclohexane identify CAS 931-56-6 and formula C7H14O. They are not 6-bromo-1-methylcyclohexene, which has a different structure. Purchase specifications and labels should state the accepted name, CAS number, formula and agreed identity method. -
Q:
Which controls should be specified for Cyclohexyl Methyl Ether?
A: Define GC assay, relevant ether and hydrocarbon impurities, water, acidity, distillation range, density or refractive index, color, nonvolatile residue and peroxide status where applicable. State the process, quantity, package and destination, and review flammable-liquid handling against the current SDS.
