General description

Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone that can be prepared by either the oxidation of cyclohexane or the hydrogenation of phenol. It is an important raw material in the production of caprolactam, adipic acid, and nylon. It is also used as a solvent in insecticides, wood stains, paint and varnish removers, spot removers, cellulosics, and natural and synthetic resins and lacquers.

Application

Cyclohexanone can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Secondary amines by reductive amination.
  • Adipic acid.
  • Tetrasubstituted propargylamines.
It can also be used as a solvent in the triphenylmethyl chloride-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene to prepare polystyrene in the presence of a catalyst.
