It is not stable upon long term storage with exposure to light and air and should be distilled before use to eliminate peroxides. A common experiment among beginning organic chemistry students is the acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol with distillative removal of the resulting cyclohexene from the reaction mixture.
