Metabolite Identification
Common NameCyclohexane
DescriptionCyclohexane, also known as hexahydrobenzene or hexamethylene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cycloalkanes. These are saturated monocyclic hydrocarbons (with or without side chains). Cyclohexane exists as a liquid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Cyclohexane is a potentially toxic compound.
