General description

Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone with a minty odor. It is reported to be present in volatile flavor fraction of kiwi fruit pulp and acerola fruit.

Application


  • Structural Revision of Hyperibrin B and Hyperscabrones H and I by Biosynthetic Considerations, NMR Analysis, and Chemical Synthesis.: Cyclohexanone is utilized in the synthesis and structural revision of complex natural products, demonstrating its utility in biochemical research (Wang et al., 2021).

  • Biocatalytic conversion of cycloalkanes to lactones using an in-vivo cascade in Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120.: This study highlights the biocatalytic potential of Cyclohexanone in producing valuable lactones, contributing to advancements in green chemistry (Karande et al., 2018).
