Cyclohexanone, ≥99%, Alfa Aesar™

Description

Applications
Cyclohexanone is used in the preparation of synthetic polymer such as nylon 6,6 and nylon 6. It acts as a solvent in organic synthesis. Its derivatives are used for the synthesis of dyes, rubber chemicals, plasticizers and pharmaceuticals. Further, it is involved in the preparation of cyclohexanone oxime, which rearranges to give caprolactam in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst.

Solubility
Miscible with diethyl ether, acetone and alcohol. Slightly miscible with water.

Notes
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, red metals, lead, amines, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, strong acids, aliphatic amines, rubber, resins and alkalies.
