4-Cyclohexylaniline is used as a starting material for the preparation of 1-cyclohexyl-4-nitroso-benzene. It is used as a reactant in nucleophilic acylation to form N-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)acetamide by reacting with acetyl halides. It is also involved in the synthesis of N-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)-2-morpholino-acetamide by reaction with 2-morpholinoacetyl fluoride. Further, it reacts with 4-bromo-4-oxo-butanoic acid to get 4-[(4-cyclohexylphenyl)amino]-4-oxo-butanoic acid.
