Definitions and Properties of Cyclohexane and Cyclohexanone
Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1) and cyclohexane (CAS: 110-82-7) are organic compounds with molecular formulas C6H10O and C6H12, respectively.
- Cyclohexanone contains one carbon-oxygen double bond, is a slightly toxic, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, is moderately polar, poorly soluble in water, but soluble in many organic solvents. Cyclohexanone can be hydrogenated to cyclohexanol or oxidized to cyclohexenone.
- Cyclohexane, on the other hand, is a colorless, non-toxic, odorless liquid with low polarity, almost insoluble in water, but readily soluble in many organic solvents. Cyclohexane is commonly used as a nonpolar solvent and reactant in organic chemistry experiments.
Uses of Cyclohexane and Cyclohexanone
Cyclohexanone and cyclohexane have different uses in everyday life.
- Cyclohexanone is an important raw material for organic synthesis, widely used in organic synthesis reactions, coatings, fragrances, and solvents.
- Cyclohexane is widely used as a solvent in laboratories and is also used in coating manufacturing and starch production.
