Description
Cyclohexanone, a colorless liquid is a cyclic ketone. It is an important building block for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds. Majority of the cyclohexanone synthesized is utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of nylon.
Used as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) solvent, cyclohexanone caused contact dermatitis in a woman manufacturing PVC fluidotherapy bags. Cyclohexanone probably does not cross react with cyclohexanone resin. A cyclohexanone-derived resin used in paints and varnishes caused contact dermatitis in painters.

Application
1. It is an important chemical raw material, being the major intermediates of making nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, for example, for paints, especially for those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymer paints. Used as an excellent solvent for pesticides such as organophosphate insecticide. It is used as a solvent for dyes, viscous solvents for piston aviation lubricants, solvents for greases, waxes and rubbers. Also used as leveling agent for dyeing and fading silk; degreasing agents for polishing metal; wood coloring paint; also used for cyclohexanone stripping, decontamination and spot removal. Cyclohexanone and cyanoacetic acid can have condensation reaction to generate cyclohexylidene acetic acid, and then followed by elimination and decarboxylation to get cyclohexene acetonitrile, and finally giving cyclohexene ethylamine by hydrogenation [3399-73-3]. Cyclohexene ethylamine is a intermediate for some drugs.
2. It is mostly captively consumed, either isolated or as a mixture, in the production of nylon intermediates (adipic acid and Caprolactam). Around 4% is consumed in markets other than nylon, such as solvents for paints, dyes and pesticides. Cyclohexanone is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, films, soaps and coatings.
Storge & Handling
Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials. Cyclohexanone must be stored to avoid contact with oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, chlorates, nitrates, andpermanganates), since violent reactions occur. Store intightly closed containers in a cool well-ventilated area awayfrom heat, sparks, and flames. Metal containers involvingthe transfer of this chemical should be grounded andbonded.
