Uses and applications
What the substance is used for, by industry and function
Non-nutritive sweetener.
Acidulant.
Sodium and calcium cyclamates are used as non-nutritive sweeteners ... Calcium cyclamate is used in low-sodium and sodium-free products (Cyclamate salts).
Chemical intermediate for salts (noncaloric sweeteners).
The main application of cyclamates ... is in blends with saccharin in a 10:1 ratio by weight. In these blends, quantitative and qualitative synergistic effects can be used to advantage, rendering them an important sweetener system in countries approving the use of both sweeteners.
Industrial uses: Cleaning agent.
Consumer uses: Cleaning agent.

How it is made
The starting material for cyclamate production is cyclohexylamine, which is reacted with sulfonating agents. The originally used chlorosulfonic acid has been replaced by other compounds. In high-boiling-point solvents, cyclohexylamine reacts with sulfamic acid to N-cyclohexyl-N-cyclohexylammonium sulfamate. Reaction with sodium or calcium hydroxide yields cyclamates and free cyclohexylamine.

In a corresponding way, equimolar amounts of cyclohexylamine and tertiary amines react to trialkylammonium-N-cyclohexyl sulfamates, the respective cyclamates being formed after reaction with sodium or calcium hydroxide.
Cyclamic acid was synthesized by the reaction of barium-N-cyclohexylsulphamate (made by the sulphonation of cyclohexylamine with chlorosulphonic acid in chloroform followed by treatment with barium hydroxide) with sulphuric acid.
Sodium cyclamate was synthesized ... by the sulfonation of cyclohexylamine with chlorosulfonic acid in chloroform to produce cyclohexylammonium N-cyclohexylsulfamate, which was then treated with sodium hydroxide. Sodium cyclamate has also been made by the reaction of nitrocyclohexane with sodium dithionite in aqueous solution in the presence of trisodium phosphate. (Sodium cyclamate)
