Chemical Formula and Structural Features Of Cyclohexanone
• Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₀O
• Molecular Weight: 98.15 g/mol
• Structural Type: Cyclic ketone
Structural Characteristics
- Cyclohexanone is a six-membered saturated ring containing one carbonyl group (C=O).
- The presence of this ketone group significantly enhances its reactivity, making it an important precursor for downstream synthesis.
- It is a colorless to pale-yellow liquid, with a mild acetone-like odor.
Cyclohexanone Properties
