Product Name:Cyclohexanol
CAS Number:108-93-0
Molecular formula:C6H12O
Molecular Weight:100.16

Cyclohexanol is prepared by the catalytic air oxidation of cyclohexane or by the catalytic hydrogenation of phenol. The most important use of cyclohexanol is in producing adipic acid used in the manufacture of caprolactam. Cyclohexanol is used in the manufacture of esters for use as plasticizers; it is also used as a chemical intermediate, a stabilizer, a homogenizer for various soap and detergent emulsions, and as a solvent for lacquers and varnishes . The primary routes of occupational exposure are dermal and inhalation.

Reaction Conditions:

in methanol;water;

Steps:

5 Hydrogenation of Phenol

Hydrogenation of phenol was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 2.0 g of the R-Ru catalyst prepared in Example 1, 2.5 g of phenol, 15 g of deionized water, and 15 g of methanol were used, the reaction temperature was from room temperature without an increase, and the reaction time was 0.7 hour. The reaction results were as follows. Phenol conversion was 100%, and yield of cyclohexanol was 99.8% by mole.
