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.
Cyclohexenone is an organic compound which is a versatile intermediate used in the synthesis of a variety of chemical products such as pharmaceuticals and fragrances. [2] It is colorless liquid, but commercial samples are often yellow.
Ethenone is a highly reactive gas (at standard conditions) and has a sharp irritating odour.It is only reasonably stable at low temperatures (−80 °C). It must therefore always be prepared for each use and processed immediately, otherwise a dimerization to diketene occurs or it reacts to polymers that are difficult to handle.

[1] It is produced industrially by the hydrogenation of cyclohexanone in the presence of hydrogen sulfide over a metal sulfide catalyst: C 6 H 10 O + H 2 S + H 2 → C 6 H 11 SH + H 2 O. It is also obtained by the addition of hydrogen sulfide to cyclohexene in the presence of nickel sulfide. [2]
Cyclohexylacetone along with N-methylformamide can be used to make racemic propylhexedrine in a similar fashion to the phenylacetone synthesis of methamphetamine. [1] Another cyclohexylacetone use is in the production of droprenilamine .
1-Ethynylcyclohexanol (ECX) is an alkynyl alcohol derivative which is both a synthetic precursor to, and an active metabolite of the tranquilizer ethinamate, and has similar sedative, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant effects. It has been sold as a designer drug, first being identified in the UK in March 2012. [1] [2] [3] [4]
1,4-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (CO) 2. This white solid is one of the three isomeric cyclohexanediones . This particular diketone is used as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules.
