is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid. The oxidation involves radicals and the intermediacy of the hydroperoxide C₆H₁₁O₂H.Alternatively, cyclohexanol can be produced by the hydrogenation of phenol:
:C₆H₅OH + 3 H₂ -> C₆H₁₁OHThis process can also be adjusted to favor the formation of cyclohexanone.
