Cyclohexylamine (CHA)
Cyclohexylamine, an organic compound categorized under aliphatic amines, is a clear liquid. However, typical samples may exhibit coloration from contaminants, as is common with many amines. With a distinct fishy odor, it mixes readily with water. While considered a weak base compared to strong bases like NaOH, it boasts greater basicity than its aromatic counterpart, aniline.
