Abstract
A process for producing acetone selectively and with a high yield by oxidizing propylene by means of the combined oxygen in an oxygen complex under milder conditions and at a single stage is provided wherein a composite catalyst comprising as catalyst components, a transition metal complex with the metal ion of which oxygen molecule can coordinate to form an oxygen complex, and another kind transition metal complex with the metal ion of which propylene can coordinate to form a propylene complex is employed, and propylene activated by the complex formation is oxidized by the combined oxygen activated by the complex formation to thereby obtain acetone.
