The great majority of cyclohexanone is consumed in the production of precursors to Nylon 6,6 and Nylon 6. About half of the world's supply is converted to adipic acid, one of two precursors for nylon 6,6. For this application, the KA oil (see above) is oxidized with nitric acid. The other half of the cyclohexanone supply is converted to cyclohexanone oxime.
In addition to the large scale reactions conducted in service of the polymer industry, many reactions have been developed for cyclohexanone.
In the presence of light, it undergoes alpha-chlorination to give 2-chlorocyclohexanone. It forms a trimethylsilyl enol ether upon treatment with trimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of base.
It forms an enamine with pyrrolidine.
