1,4-Cyclohexanedione (CAS: 637-88-7) is a cyclic diketone with molecular formula C6H8O2. It serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily produced via the oxidative dimerization of cyclohexanone or catalytic oxidation processes.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Requires PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation and respiratory hazards during handling.
