Cycloheptane, synonym suberane, is a cycloalkane [citation needed] with the molecular formula C 7 H 14. [1] It is a poorly water soluble organic liquid (melting point –12 deg C, solubility in water <30 mg /liter at 25 deg C), [1] and is used as a nonpolar solvent for the chemical industry and as an intermediate in the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs.
Norbornane (also called bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). Unsubstituted cycloalkanes that contain a single ring in their molecular structure are typically named by adding the prefix "cyclo" to the name of the corresponding linear alkane with the same number of carbon atoms in its chain as the cycloalkane has in its ring.
With cycloheptene, the cis-isomer is always assumed but the trans-isomer does also exist.One procedure for the organic synthesis of trans-cycloheptene is by singlet photosensitization of cis-cycloheptene with methyl benzoate and ultraviolet light at −35 °C. [2]
Heterocyclic organic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles. [2] Examples of heterocyclic compounds include all of the nucleic acids, the majority of drugs, most biomass (cellulose and related materials), and many natural and synthetic dyes. More than half of ...
Food poisoning, also known as foodborne illness, is a common sickness caused by swallowing food or liquids that contain harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites, and sometimes even chemicals.
Cycloheptanone is a precursor to bencyclane, a spasmolytic agent and vasodilator. [4] Pimelic acid is produced by the oxidative cleavage of cycloheptanone. [6] Dicarboxylic acids such as pimelic acid are useful for the preparation of fragrances and certain polymers.
Caprolactam was first described in the late 1800s when it was prepared by the cyclization of ε-aminocaproic acid, the product of the hydrolysis of caprolactam.World demand for caprolactam was estimated to reach five million tons per year for 2015. 90% of caprolactam produced is used to make filament and fiber, 10% for plastics, and a small amount is used as a chemical intermediate.

Cyclobutane is a cycloalkane and organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4.Cyclobutane is a colourless gas and is commercially available as a liquefied gas.Derivatives of cyclobutane are called cyclobutanes.
