. It is one of three isomeric cyclohexanediones. It is a colorless compound that is soluble in a variety of organic solvents. It can be prepared by oxidation of cyclohexanone by selenium dioxide.[1] The enol is about 1 kcal/mol more stable than the diketo form.[2]

Numerous diimine and dioxime ligands have been prepared from this diketone.[1] It also condenses with 1,2-diamines to give diaza heterocycles.
