Cyclohexanone oxime is a cyclic chemical compound that belongs to the oximes .
Extraction and presentation
Cyclohexanone oxime can be obtained from cyclohexanone and hydroxylamine .
use
This compound is one of the few technically important oximes. It is an important intermediate in the production of ε-caprolactam . The conversion to ε-caprolactam takes place by Beckmann rearrangement with the help of concentrated sulfuric acid . Nylon (polyamide 6, also called Perlon ) is then obtained from this through polymerization .
