  2. Cyclohexanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexanol

    Cyclohexanol is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobalt catalysts: [5]. 2 C 6 H 12 + O 2 → 2 C 6 H 11 OH. This process coforms cyclohexanone, and this mixture ("KA oil" for ketone-alcohol oil) is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid.

  3. Cyclohexanone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexanone

    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. The oxidation involves radicals and the hydroperoxide C 6 H 11 O 2 H as an intermediate. In some cases, purified cyclohexanol, obtained by hydration of cyclohexene, is the

  4. Cyclohexene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexene

    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. Hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant in the presence of a tungsten catalyst. [9] 1,5-Hexadiene is produced by ethenolysis of cyclohexene. Bromination gives 1 ...

  5. Cyclohexane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexane

    Although rather unreactive, cyclohexane undergoes autoxidation to give a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. The cyclohexanone–cyclohexanol mixture, called "KA oil", is a raw material for adipic acid and caprolactam, precursors to nylon. Several million kilograms of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol are produced annually. [9]

  6. Adipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipic_acid

    Adipic acid is produced by oxidation of a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, which is called KA oil, an abbreviation of ketone-alcohol oil. Nitric acid is the oxidant. The pathway is multistep. Early in the reaction, the cyclohexanol is converted to the ketone, releasing nitrous acid: HOCH(CH 2) 5 + HNO 3 → O=C(CH 2) 5 + HNO 2 + H 2 O

  7. Cyclohexylmethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexylmethanol

    Production. Cyclohexylmethanol can be produced in two step starting with the hydroformylation of cyclohexene. This process also give cyclohexane, ...

  8. Evelyn effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_effect

    For these two reactions, there are 3 possible products, 3-methyl-cyclohexene,1-methyl-cyclohexene, methylene-cyclohexane. The production of each of these occurs at different rates and the ratios of these also change over time. It is well known that the dehydration of the cis isomer is 30 times faster than the trans isomer.

  9. Cyclohexylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexylamine

    It is a useful intermediate in the production of many other organic compounds (e.g. cyclamate) ... It is also prepared by alkylation of ammonia using cyclohexanol.
