Used primarily as a specialty solvent in organic synthesis and laboratory research. Its non-polar nature makes it suitable for dissolving hydrophobic compounds, particularly in reaction systems where low reactivity is required. Commonly employed in the development and testing of catalysts for hydrogenation and isomerization processes. Also utilized as an intermediate in the production of fine chemicals and fragrances due to its stable cycloalkane structure. The high purity (98%) ensures minimal interference from impurities in sensitive reactions.
