Cyclohexanol
Cyclohexanol is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₁₁OH. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a camphor-like odor. Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol derived from cyclohexane by the replacement of one hydrogen atom by a hydroxyl group.
Production[edit]
Cyclohexanol is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in the presence of air, typically using a cobalt catalyst. Another method involves the hydrogenation of phenol.
Chemical Properties[edit]
Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, meaning the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon atom that is connected to two other carbon atoms. It can undergo typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation to form cyclohexanone or dehydration to form cyclohexene.
Uses[edit]
Cyclohexanol is used as a precursor to nylon by its conversion to adipic acid and caprolactam. It is also used as a solvent and in the manufacture of plasticizers and detergents.
Safety[edit]
Cyclohexanol is considered to be moderately toxic. It can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Prolonged exposure can lead to more severe health effects.
