Chemical compound
Cyclohexylacetone (acetonylcyclohexane) is an organic compound. Cyclohexylacetone is closely related to phenylacetone being phenylacetone with the benzene ring replaced with a cyclohexane ring.
Applications
Cyclohexylacetone along with N-methylformamide can be used to make racemic propylhexedrine in a similar fashion to the phenylacetone synthesis of methamphetamine.[1] Another cyclohexylacetone use is in the production of droprenilamine.
