2-ETHYLCYCLOHEXANONE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless transparent liquid

Uses

2-Ethylcyclohexanone is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. 2-Methyl and 2-ethyl derivatives of cyclohexanone were allowed to react with deuterium in tBuOD using platinum group metals as catalysts to study the substituent effects in heterogeneous catalysis.
