Dicyclohexylamine

Dicyclohexylamine, also known as N-cyclohexylcyclohexylamine or dodecahydrodiphenylamine, has the chemical formula C₁₂H₂₃N. It is a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature with a fishy odor. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and benzene.

This compound is strongly basic and can form salts with acids, as well as react with substances such as acyl chlorides to produce derivatives. It is mainly used in organic synthesis, as an acidic gas absorbent, in steel corrosion inhibitors, and in insecticides. It is also used in the preparation of auxiliaries for the printing and textile industries and metal corrosion inhibitors.
