Cyclohexanone is a colorless, clear liquid with soil smell; its impure product appears as light yellow color. It is miscible with several other solvents. easily soluble in ethanol and ether. The lower exposure limit is 1.1% and the upper exposure limit is 9.4%. Cyclohexanone may be incompatible with oxidizers and nitric acid. It is the raw material for the production of caprolactam and adipic acid; used as the solvents and diluent agents of paints, inks, synthetic resins and synthetic rubber; also used as leather degreasing agent. Used as organic solvent; Raw materials and solvents of synthetic resin and synthetic fiber; Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material, being the major intermediates of making nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, for example, for paints, especially for those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymer paints. Used as an excellent solvent for pesticides such as organophosphate insecticide. It is used as a solvent for dyes, viscous solvents for piston aviation lubricants, solvents for greases, waxes and rubbers. Also used as leveling agent for dyeing and fading silk; degreasing agents for polishing metal; wood coloring paint; also used for cyclohexanone stripping, decontamination and spot removal. Cyclohexanone and cyanoacetic acid can have condensation reaction to generate cyclohexylidene acetic acid, and then followed by elimination and decarboxylation to get cyclohexene acetonitrile, and finally giving cyclohexene ethylamine by hydrogenation [3399-73-3]. Cyclohexene ethylamine is a intermediate for some drugs.
