Applications
By virtue of its high solvent power for
numerous organic substances, cyclohexanone
is used as a solvent in
many branches of industry. Due to the
high purity of the EL grade, it can be
used in various electronic industry applications.
Since it reacts with various
classes of compounds - its reactivity
is typical of an aliphatic ketone - it is
used as a starting material for syntheses.
The main applications are
reviewed below, but the list is by no
means complete.
· Additive for electronic industry
applications.
· Additives in PVC adhesives, mainly
to regulate the evaporation rate.
· Additive in bonding agents for plasticized
PVC film, e.g., for roof
coverings, Swimming Pools and tunnels.
In temperate climates, it can
be used only in the summer for
regulating the evaporation rate, but
all the year round for exports to
tropical regions.
· Solvent for insecticides and fungicides,
e.g., Perfekthion®.
· Activator in oxidation reactions,
e.g., benzene ® phenol.
· In the manufacture of adipic acid,
AH Salt and nylon 66.
· For the manufacture of cyclohexanone
oxime, caprolactam and
nylon 6
· For the manufacture of herbicides,
spiro compounds, amines, colorants,
vulcanization accelerators,
emulsifying agents, sedatives, hypnotics,
anti-histamines and
catalysts for polyester resins.
· Additives in mercerizing liquors.
· Additive in aluminum soaps for
impregnating fabrics, e.g., camouflage
nets.
· Degreasing agents.
· Additive to improve adhesion of
pigment finishes.
· For improving damaged areas on
leather by finishing, e.g., with
Corial® Finish EC.
· Additive in paints and lacquers, e.g.,
- Cellulose nitrate lacquers (to
prevent blushing)
- Cellulose acetate lacquers (to
improve flow)
- PVC paints
· Solvent for PVC printing inks.
· Raw material for various synthetic
resins, e.g., Laropal K 80.
· Additive in paint removers.
· Secondary solvent for cellulose
nitrate in coating cellophane.
The chemical formula for cyclohexanone is C6H10O
Cyclohexanone can be oxidized to adipic acid.
Yes
This is an oxidation reaction cyclohexanol with acidified dichromate produces cyclohexanone

yes!!
The product of photolysis of cyclohexanone is cyclohexyl hexanoate. Due to the unique chemical makeup of this product when it is exposed to air and sunlight together it can rapidly deteriorate.

Cyclohexane can be oxidized into cyclohexanone by using an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) in the presence of a catalyst like sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The cyclohexane reacts with the oxidizing agent, resulting in the formation of cyclohexanol, which is further oxidized to cyclohexanone.
