Cyclohexanol

Cyclohexyl alcohol; Hexahydrophenol; Hydroxycyclohexane; Hexalin

CAS 108-93-0

Chemical Formula C₆H₁₂O

Molecular Weight 100.16 g/mol

Cyclohexanol is an organic compound classified as a secondary alcohol. It is primarily manufactured by the catalytic hydrogenation of phenol, or via the oxidation of cyclohexane. Cyclohexanol is a key intermediate in the production of nylon, particularly in the manufacture of caprolactam and adipic acid.

Industrial Uses

1.Pharmaceuticals

Intermediate in Drug Synthesis: Cyclohexanol is used as a precursor in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. It is a key building block in producing drugs like cyclohexamine and in certain steroid synthesis processes.
Solvent in Drug Formulations: It can act as a solvent or an intermediate in the preparation of drug formulations due to its miscibility with organic compounds.

2. Paints & Coatings

Solvent: Cyclohexanol is used as a solvent for lacquers, paints, varnishes, and other coatings. It helps dissolve resins and pigments, ensuring smooth application and enhanced finish quality.
Coating Additives: In addition to being a solvent, Cyclohexanol can improve the durability and performance of coatings, contributing to the chemical resistance and flexibility of the final product.

3.Lubricants & Automobiles

Lubricants: Cyclohexanol is used in the production of lubricants, particularly for metalworking fluids. These lubricants help reduce friction and wear in automotive components, prolonging the lifespan of engines and machinery.
Fuel Additives: In some cases, Cyclohexanol or its derivatives can be used as fuel additives to improve fuel performance and reduce engine deposits.

4.Flavours & Fragrances

Fragrance Manufacturing: While Cyclohexanol itself has a mild odor, it is used as an intermediate in the production of fragrance compounds, including those that mimic floral, fruity, or woody notes.

5. Polymer & Resins

Nylon Production: Cyclohexanol is a key precursor in the production of nylon, specifically Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6. It is oxidized to produce cyclohexanone, which is further processed to make adipic acid and caprolactam, essential components in nylon manufacturing.
Resins: Cyclohexanol derivatives are used in the production of resins, which are widely employed in making adhesives, coatings, and molded products.
Rubber Manufacturing: Cyclohexanol plays a role in rubber processing, particularly as a solvent or a processing aid in some rubber formulations.
