Cyclohexanol is the organic compound with the formula (CH2)5CHOH. The molecule is related to cyclohexanering by replacement of one hydrogen atom by a hydroxyl group. This compound exists as a deliquescentcolorless solid with a camphor-like odor, which, when very pure, melts near room temperature. Cyclohexanol is mainly as a precursor to nylon.
