Description

Cyclohexanone Oxime CAS NO 100-64-1 is a key organic intermediate with a white to off-white crystalline appearance. This compound is of significant industrial importance due to its role as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of caprolactam, the monomer for nylon-6. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, chemical synthesis, and agrochemical sectors seeking a reliable and high-purity building block for their production processes.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for Caprolactam: The most significant application is in the production of caprolactam via the Beckmann rearrangement, which is polymerized to manufacture nylon-6 fibers and plastics.
• Chemical Synthesis Reagent: Serves as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis for the introduction of the oxime functional group and in the preparation of other specialty chemicals.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of certain herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a building block in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in some polymer and resin systems as a crosslinking or curing agent.
• Metal Chelation: Utilized in analytical chemistry and metal treatment processes due to its chelating properties.
