4-Cyclohexylaniline is used as a starting material for the preparation of 1-cyclohexyl-4-nitroso-benzene. It is used as a reactant in nucleophilic acylation to form N-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)acetamide by reacting with acetyl halides. It is also involved in the synthesis of N-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)-2-morpholino-acetamide by reaction with 2-morpholinoacetyl fluoride. Further, it reacts with 4-bromo-4-oxo-butanoic acid to get 4-[(4-cyclohexylphenyl)amino]-4-oxo-butanoic acid.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
