| General description: | Cyclohexanone is a cycloalkanone. It is an industrially important intermediate. It is useful for the preparation of raw materials for various chemical intermediates, such as caprolactam for nylon 6 and adipic acid for nylon 66 synthesis of nylon. It can be synthesized industrially by either the oxidation of cyclohexane or the hydrogenation of phenol. |
