Cyclohexylamine (cyclohexanamine) is a primary aliphatic amine consisting of cyclohexane carrying an amino group. It is a colourless or yellow liquid with a strong, fishy, amine-like odour. It is used to inhibit corrosion in boiler feed water and to manufacture plasticisers, rubber chemicals, dyestuffs and gas absorbents. It also serves as a rubber accelerator and as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
