The molecule consists of six-carbon cyclic molecule with a ketone functional group. This colorless oil has an odor reminiscent of peardrop sweets as well as acetone.
Over time, samples assume a yellow color due to oxidation. Cyclohexanone is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with common organic solvents.

Manufacture process

Feature

It smells menthol and colorless liquid.

Applications

The great majority of crclohexanone is consumed in the production of precursors to Nylon 66 and Nylon 6. About half of the world’s supply is converted to adipic acid, one of two precursors for nylon66. The other half of the cyclohexanone supply is converted to the oxime. In the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst, the oxime rearranges to caprolactam, a precursor to Nylon 6.
