Chemistry:Cyclononane

From HandWiki

Cyclononane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of a ring of nine carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C9H18.

Chemical properties

At 20 °C, cyclononane, under the action of aluminum chloride, isomerizes to propylcyclohexane, and at 50 °C to trimethylcyclohexanes.[6] On platinized carbon, cyclononane forms a mixture of indane and methylbenzene with other aromatic hydrocarbons.[1]
