Extensive Definition
Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, formula
C6H11OH, consisting of a cyclohexane ring with one
hydrogen substituent
replaced by a hydroxyl
group .
It can be oxidized to cyclohexanone by chromic acid
(formed by dissolving sodium
dichromate in water and concentrated sulfuric
acid). The oxidation will stop at cyclohexanone, as a stronger
oxidizing agent is required to break the carbon bond.
