 The cyclic aliphatic ketone cyclododecanone (CDON) is a colorless solid with a melting point of 61°C.
CDON is formed by dehydrogenation of cyclododecanol.
- CDON is an intermediate in the synthesis of laurolactam, the monomer for polyamide 12 (VESTAMID® L). The synthesis of laurolactam starts with cyclododecane, which is converted sequentially into cyclododecanol, cyclododecanone and cyclododecanone oxime
- it is also used in UV absorbers.
- in the perfume industry, CDON is used particularly in the production of well-known musk perfumes.
- fragrances of a woody character are also produced using CDOL.
