Abstract
Cyclohexanol is a colorless, viscous liquid with a camphoraceous odor. It is used chiefly as a chemical intermediate, a stabilizer, and a homogenizer for various soap and detergent emulsions, and as a solvent for lacquers and varnishes. Cyclohexanone is a colorless, mobile liquid with an odor suggestive of peppermint and acetone. It is used chiefly as a chemical intermediate and as a solvent for resins, lacquers, dyes, and insecticides. Both cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are produced commercially by the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane or the catalytic hydrogenation of phenol. Information presented includes physical properties; manufacture; reactions, derivatives, and uses; economic aspects; specifications and analysis; and health and safety factors. Keywords: Cyclohexanol; Cyclohexanone; Nylon-6; Methylcyclohexanol; Dye solvent
