Cyclohexane can be produced quantitatively from benzene through hydrogenation over a nickel or platinum catalyst at 210°C and 350-500 psi hydrogen pressure. Several reactors can be used in series to yield over 99% cyclohexane. Cyclohexane is used to manufacture adipic acid and caprolactam, which are then used to produce nylon 6,6 and nylon 6, respectively.
