It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, dyestuffs and in agrochemical industries. It is used in medicine. Cyclohexene oxide (epoxycyclohexane) is an useful monomer in polymerization and coating industry. It is used in the synthesis of alicyclic target materials including pharmaceuticals, perfumery and dyestuffs. It is used as a monomer in photopolymerizations, with carbonmonoxide to yield aromatic polycarbonates which has minimum impurities.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
