Reaction Steps

Instead of pure adipic acid, dicarboxylic acid solution (DCS) has also been used as a starting material for the preparation of 1,6-hexanediol. It is obtained as a waste product in the oxidation of cyclohexane with air to give cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, by extraction of the oxidized mixture with water.
