Cyclohexane derivatives. The specific arrangement of functional groups in cyclohexane derivatives, and indeed in most cycloalkane molecules, is extremely important in chemical reactions, especially reactions involving nucleophiles. Substituents on the ring must be in the axial formation to react with other molecules.yclohexane is used as a nonpolar solvent for the chemical industry, and also as a raw material for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, both of which are intermediates used in the production of nylon. On an industrial scale, cyclohexane is produced by reacting benzene with hydrogen.
definitions - compression stockings. Compression Stockings (n.) 1.(MeSH)Tight coverings for the foot and leg that are worn to aid circulation in the legs and prevent the formation of EDEMA and DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS. PNEUMATIC PRESSURE STOCKINGS serve a similar purpose especially for bedridden patients and following surgery.
What are gradient compression stockings? Gradient compression means that the maximum amount of compression is exerted at the ankle, and weakens as it goes up the leg. This helps fight the effects of gravity by returning blood to the heart, and also helps reduce the possibility of circulation constriction.
