Cyclohexylacetone (acetonylcyclohexane) is an organic compound. Cyclohexylacetone is closely related to phenylacetone being phenylacetone with the benzene ring replaced with a cyclohexane ring. Similarly to phenylacetone's synthesis, cyclohexylacetone can be prepared by a variant of the Friedel-Crafts reaction (the Darzens–Nenitzescu Synthesis of Ketones) by reacting cyclohexane with chloroacetone.

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.
