Dicyclohexyl ether is an organic compound with the chemical formula (C
6H
11)
2O. It is a colorless liquid. It consists of two cyclohexyl groups attached to one oxygen atom.
Synthesis
Cyclohexanol can be converted to dicyclohexyl ether by cation-exchanged bentonite clays as a catalyst. Bentonite clays that exchange Al3+, Co2+ and Na+
cations are used in etherification of cyclohexanol to dicyclohexyl ether. Product yields obtained for metal cation exchanged clays are in the order Al3+ > Co2+ > Na+
.[5]
Dicyclohexyl ether can also be synthesized from cyclohexanol by heating it to 134 to 138 °C (273 to 280 °F) in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst, for 1 to 1.5 hours, in an oil bath.[6]
