Cyclohexanone

Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone with the formula C₆H₁₀O, a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with an odor reminiscent of peppermint and acetone. While it occurs naturally in crude oil, it is produced synthetically on a large scale. The vast majority of cyclohexanone is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of nylon. Specifically, it is a precursor to adipic acid and caprolactam, the essential building blocks for nylon 6 and nylon 6,6. It also functions as a versatile solvent for lacquers, resins, degreasers, and spot removers, and is used in the manufacturing of herbicides, antihistamines, and as an additive in paints.
