1.Introduction

Cyclohexanone is the organiccompound with the formula(CH2)5CO. The molecule consists of six-carbon cyclic molecule with ketone a  functional group. This colorless oil has an odor reminiscent of peardrop sweetsas well as acetone.Over time, samples assume a yellow color due to oxidation. Cyclohexanone isslightly soluble in water and miscible with common organic solvents. Billionsof kilograms are produced annually, mainly as a precursor to nylon.

4.Production

Cyclohexanone is produced by theoxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobaltcatalysts:

C6H12 + O2 → (CH2)5CO + H2O

This process co-forms cyclohexanol,and this mixture, called "KA Oil" for ketone-alcohol oil, is the mainfeedstock for the production of adipic acid.The oxidation involves radicals and the intermediacy of the hydroperoxide C6H11O2H. Insome cases, purified cyclohexanol, obtained by hydration of cyclohexene,is the precursor. Alternatively, cyclohexanone can be produced by the partial hydrogenation of phenol:

C6H5OH + 2 H2 → (CH2)5CO

This process can also be adjustedto favor the formation of cyclohexanol.

Laboratorymethods:

Cyclohexanone can be preparedfrom cyclohexanol by oxidation with chromiumtrioxide (Jones oxidation). An alternative methodutilizes the safer and more readily available oxidant sodium hypochlorite.

5.Useage

Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and a main intermediate for the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid.
It is also an important industrial solvent, such as for paints, especially those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers, or methacrylate polymer paints.
An excellent solvent for organophosphorus pesticides and many analogues; as a solvent for dyes; as a viscous solvent for piston aviation lubricants; as a solvent for fats, waxes and rubbers.
It is also used as a homogenizer for dyeing and fading filaments, as a degreaser for polishing metals, and as a paint for wood coloring. Cyclohexanone can be used for defilm, destain and spot removal.
Cyclohexanone was condensed with cyanoacetic acid to obtain cyclohexyleneacetic acid, then eliminated and decarboxylated to cyclohexeneacetonitrile, and finally hydrogenated to obtain cyclohexeneethylamine [3399-73-3]. Cyclohexeneethylamine is an intermediate of medicine such as kemecide and Temarene.
 
Used as a high boiling point solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish.
Mixed solvents are usually prepared with low boiling point and medium boiling point solvents to obtain the appropriate volatilization rate and viscosity.
