1 - 3-Cyclohexanedione

Product Description

1,3-Cyclohexanedione (C6H8O2) is an organic compound that appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 112.13 g/mol. It is sparingly soluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. This diketone compound is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Due to its enol-keto tautomerism, it serves as a key building block in heterocyclic chemistry and the production of dyes, resins, and specialty chemicals. Proper storage in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and oxidizing agents ensures its stability and longevity.
