There is sufficient supply of cyclohexanedione raw materials in my country, and 1,3-cyclohexanedione is its representative product.

Cyclohexanedione is a chemical that appears as a colorless oil with the chemical formula C6H8O2. Cyclohexanedione is soluble in ethanol, water, chloroform, acetone and boiling benzene, and slightly soluble in carbon disulfide and ether. Cyclohexanedione is widely used in the fields of medicine, organic synthesis, pesticides, and electrical conductor materials.

Cyclohexanedione can usually be divided into three types: 1,4-cyclohexanedione, 1,3-cyclohexanedione and 1,2-cyclohexanedione. 1,3-Cyclohexanedione is a representative product of cyclohexanedione and has broad application prospects in aerospace, pesticides, medicine, cosmetics and other fields. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s 1,3-cyclohexanedione technology and quality are relatively backward, and high-purity products are in short supply. It is expected that in the future, with the acceleration of the localization of high-purity 1,3-cyclohexanedione in my country, the prosperity of the cyclohexanedione industry will increase.
             
The main raw material of cyclohexanedione is cyclohexanone. Cyclohexanone, also known as Andone, is an important organic chemical raw material and is widely used in photosensitive materials, coatings, pesticides, medicine and other fields. The main preparation methods of cyclohexanone include cyclohexane oxidation method, phenol method and cyclohexene hydration method. Benefiting from the improved technological maturity of local companies and the continuous upgrading of equipment, my country’s cyclohexanone production capacity has rapidly expanded, output has continued to grow, and it has become one of the world’s major exporters. In 2022, my country’s cyclohexanone production capacity will exceed 8 million tons, setting a record high. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s cyclohexanedione industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Cyclohexanedione Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , Cyclohexanedione is widely used in the fields of medicine, organic synthesis, pesticides and electrical conductor materials. In the field of medicine, cyclohexanedione can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for the production of anti-tumor drugs, anti-thrombotic drugs, 5-HT antagonists, analgesics, etc.; in the field of organic synthesis, cyclohexanedione can be used to synthesize general chemicals. Reagent; in the field of pesticides, cyclohexanedione can be used to synthesize the herbicide sulfotrione, which can effectively remove weeds in corn fields.

The main manufacturers of cyclohexanedione in my country include Yantai Xianhua Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Guoguang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Qingdao Kehai Biological Co., Ltd., Shandong Fore Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Xinnong Chemical Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Qingquan Chemical Co., Ltd. Co., Ltd., Qingdao Yimingxiang Fine Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., etc. It is expected that in the future, with technological advancement, my country’s cyclohexanedione industry will gradually develop in a high-end direction.

Industry analysts said that cyclohexanedione has a wide range of applications and the industry development prospects continue to be good. As a representative product of cyclohexanedione, 1,3-cyclohexanedione’s market share continues to increase, and the development of the industry is accelerating. After years of development, my country’s cyclohexanedione technology has continued to improve, and high-end development has become the mainstream trend in the industry.
