Examples
“New research out of Johns Hopkins finds this chemical - called cyclohexanone - may be leaching out of the plastics used to make these devices and ending up in the fluids meant to help people get better when they are in the hospital.”
“Cyclohexanone monooxygenase 1.14.13.22 1 Nomenclature EC number 1.14.13.22 Systematic name cyclohexanone: NADPH: oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating, 1,2-lacto - nizing) Recommended name cyclohexanone monooxygenase Synonyms CHMO”
“Reagents useful for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones, but normally inefficient for oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes, include chromium trioxide (CrO3) in a mixture of sulfuric acid and acetone (Jones oxidation) and certain ketones, such as cyclohexanone, in the presence of aluminium isopropoxide (Oppenauer oxidation).”
“Based on the good results with the cyclohexanone blend, the Eindhoven University of Technology filed three patents on the use of cyclic oxygenates in the combustion process, and is seeking to develop a commercially viable production route for C6 cyclic oxygenates such as cyclohexanone from biomass.”
“Perhaps the best news of all is that cyclohexanone can be made from lignin, a part of the cell walls of plants and trees.”
“Cylcox is a diesel blend comprised of 10 percent of cyclohexanone ((CH2) 5CO, a precursor of nylon) and 90 percent regular diesel.”
