1,2-Diaminocyclohexane (CAS 694-83-7) is a cycloaliphatic vicinal diamine used as a chemical intermediate and building block. Industry references record its use in the synthesis of nitrogen-heterocyclic derivatives and in corrosion-inhibitor chemistry. Supplied as a bulk amine intermediate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (1,2-DACH) used for?
It is a cycloaliphatic vicinal diamine used as a chemical intermediate and building block. Industry references record its use in the synthesis of nitrogen-heterocyclic derivatives and in corrosion-inhibitor chemistry. It is also a building block for ligand and fine-chemical synthesis.
What is the difference between cis- and trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane?
1,2-DACH exists as cis and trans diastereomers (the trans form is further resolvable into enantiomers), differing in the relative orientation of the two amine groups on the ring. Grade and isomer purity affect downstream synthesis and ligand work, so specify the required isomer when ordering.
What is the molecular weight and CAS number of 1,2-DACH?
The CAS number is 694-83-7, the molecular formula is C6H14N2, and the molecular weight is approximately 114.19 g/mol. Confirm exact specifications against the supplied CoA.
How is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane shipped?
It is assigned UN 2735 (1,2-diaminocyclohexane) for transport and falls under HS 2921.30 (cyclanic polyamines). Shipping must follow the applicable DOT/IMDG requirements for the UN number; consult the SDS and your carrier for classification details.
What is the bulk price of 1,2-DACH?
Bulk pricing depends on isomer specification, volume, and packaging. Submit a bulk RFQ with your required quantity and grade for a current quote, along with a CoA and SDS.
