Editing Cyclohexene (section)

==Production and uses==
Cyclohexene is produced by the partial [[hydrogenation]] of [[benzene]], a process developed by the [[Asahi Chemical]] company.<ref>{{cite patent|title=Cyclohexanol, method for producing cyclohexanol, and method for producing adipic acid|pubdate=26 Sep 2017|inventor-last=Narisawa|inventor2-last=Tanaka|inventor-first=Naoki|inventor2-first=Katsutoshi|country=US|number=9771313}}</ref>  The main product of the process is cyclohexane because cyclohexene is more easily hydrogenated than benzene.

In the laboratory, it can be prepared by [[dehydration reaction|dehydration]] of [[cyclohexanol]].<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.005.0033|title=Cyclohexene|journal=Organic Syntheses|year=1925|volume=5|page=33|author=G. H. Coleman, H. F. Johnstone}}</ref>
