Abstract

Mixtures containing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are produced by oxidizing cyclohexane with air, and then decomposing the cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in such reaction mixture, in the presence of the cyclohexane, to form cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, such oxidation and/or decomposition being carried out in the presence of a manganese source, a Bronsted acid and a pyridine ligand.
