Cyclohexylbenzene is the organic compound with the structural formula C 6 H 5 −C 6 H 11. It is a derivative of benzene with a cyclohexyl substituent (C 6 H 11 ). It is a colorless liquid.
Cyclohexylbenzene can replace isopropylbenzene. Via the Hock rearrangement, cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide cleaves to give phenol and cyclohexanone. Cyclohexanone is an important precursor to some nylons. [8] Starting with the alkylation of benzene with mixture of 1 and 2-butenes, the cumene process produces phenol and butanones. [5]
Benzene is converted to cyclohexylbenzene by acid-catalyzed alkylation with cyclohexene. [6] Cyclohexylbenzene is a precursor to both phenol and cyclohexanone. [7] Hydration of cyclohexene gives cyclohexanol, which can be dehydrogenated to give cyclohexanone, a precursor to caprolactam. [8] The oxidative cleavage of cyclohexene gives adipic acid.
Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 12.Cyclohexane is non-polar.Cyclohexane is a colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products (in which it is sometimes used).
Cyclohexanone is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobalt catalysts: [11]. C 6 H 12 + O 2 → (CH 2) 5 CO + H 2 O. This process forms cyclohexanol as a by-product, and this mixture, called "KA Oil" for ketone-alcohol oil, is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid.

Styrene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH=CH 2.Its structure consists of a vinyl group as substituent on benzene.Styrene is a colorless, oily liquid, although aged samples can appear yellowish.
Cyclohexene oxide is produced in epoxidation reaction from cyclohexene. The epoxidation can take place either in a homogeneous reaction by peracids [2] or heterogeneous catalysis (e.g. silver and molecular oxygen).
