Cyclohexyl disulfide Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

Cyclohexyl Disulfide, also known as Dicyclohexyl Disulfide, is an organosulfur compound consisting of two cyclohexyl groups linked by a disulfide bond. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or a low-melting solid with a characteristic sulfurous odor.

This compound is valuable in various industrial and chemical applications due to the reactivity of the disulfide linkage and the presence of the robust cyclohexyl moieties, making it a useful building block and additive.

Main Uses:

1. Rubber Industry (Vulcanization Accelerator/Retarder): Cyclohexyl Disulfide can be used as a vulcanization agent or a modifier in the rubber industry. It can contribute to the cross-linking process or act as a peptizer/plasticizer to improve the processing of rubber compounds.

2. Organic Synthesis: It serves as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis for introducing a cyclohexylthio group into various molecules. The disulfide bond can be readily cleaved or transformed, allowing for the creation of thiols, thioethers, and other sulfur-containing derivatives.

3. Pharmaceutical Intermediates: The compound can be employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs), particularly where sulfur-containing heterocycles or specific chiral sulfur centers are desired.

4. Agrochemical Intermediates: It finds application as a building block in the development of some agrochemicals, contributing to the structure or activity of herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides.

5. Corrosion Inhibitors: In some specialized applications, disulfide compounds like cyclohexyl disulfide can act as corrosion inhibitors, forming protective layers on metal surfaces.
