Cyclododecanone is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)11CO. It is a cyclic ketone that exists as a white solid at room temperature. It is produced by the oxidation of cyclododecane via cyclododecanol.
Cyclododecanone is mainly consumed as a precursor to 1,12-dodecanedioic acid and laurolactam, which are precursors to certain specialized nylons. Small amounts are also converted to cyclohexadecanone, which is used in some fragrances.
