Benzene is converted to [[cyclohexylbenzene]] by acid-catalyzed alkylation with cyclohexene.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.019.0036|title=Cyclohexylbenzene|journal=Organic Syntheses|year=1939|volume=19|page=36|author=B.

Hydration of cyclohexene gives [[cyclohexanol]], which can be [[dehydrogenation|dehydrogenated]] to give [[cyclohexanone]], a precursor to [[caprolactam]].<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|first1=Michael T.|last1= Musser|title=Cyclohexanol and Cyclohexanone|year=2005|doi=10.1002/14356007.a08_217}}</ref>

The [[oxidative cleavage]] of cyclohexene gives [[adipic acid]]. [[Hydrogen peroxide]] is used as the oxidant in the presence of a tungsten catalyst.<ref>{{cite journal |title= Green Chemistry in the Organic Teaching Laboratory: An Environmentally Benign Synthesis of Adipic Acid |first1= Scott M. |last1= Reed |first2= James E. |last2= Hutchison |journal= J.

[[1,5-Hexadiene]] is produced by [[ethenolysis]] of cyclohexene. Bromination gives 1,2-dibromocyclohexane.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.012.0026|title=1,2-Dibromocyclohexane|journal=Organic Syntheses|year=1932|volume=12|page=26|author=H. R. Snyder, L. A. Brooks}}</ref>
