Decahydronaphthalene CAS 91-17-8

Decahydronaphthalene is a toxic, high boiling point colorless organic liquid with a slight menthol odor, a typical polycyclic alkane component of diesel fuel, and is mainly used as a solvent for oils and fats, resins, rubbers, etc. as well as a varnish remover and a lubricant, e.g. Decahydronaphthalene as a solvent can be used to improve the asphaltene hydrotransformation by its dispersing effect.

Decahydronaphthalene

CAS No.91-17-8

Alias:DEKALIN;DECALIN;DECALINE;DECALIN(R);DECAHYDRONAPHTHALENE;naphth(la)ne;DECAHYDRONAPHTHALENE MIXTURE OF CIS AN&;DECALIN SOLVENT, 97%

Molecular formula:C10H18

Molecular weight:138.25

Structural formula:

萘烷 结构式

1. Performance and use:

Colorless liquid. Industrial decahydronaphthalene produced by hydrogenation of naphthalene, a mixture of cis and trans isomers. Insoluble in water, miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone and benzene. Similar to methanol odor, the vapor is purple. Flash point 57℃.

Uses can be used as a solvent for paints, used to extract fats and waxes, instead of turpentine used in shoe polish, floor wax manufacturing, can be used with benzene and ethanol to form a mixture, as a fuel for internal combustion engines.

Uses Used as a liquid for refractive index determination, also used as a solvent Production Methods Industrially by catalytic hydrogenation of naphthalene in the presence of a nickel catalyst to obtain an equal mixture of the two isomers.

If you need a purer isomer, industrial grade decahydronaphthalene can be washed with concentrated sulfuric acid until the acid layer is colorless. It is then alkali and water washed, the aqueous layer is separated and dried with a desiccant. Decompression distillation, with a reflux ratio close to 145:1 in a tower of 130 theoretical plates, yields the cis-isomer with a purity of 99.93% by weight, while a reflux ratio of 160:1 in a tower of 200 theoretical plates yields the trans-isomer with a purity of 99.97%.
