Abstract

The invention relates to a method of oxidizing epoxyalcohols, in a medium containing an organic solvent and water, by means of a solid oxidizing compound, in the presence of a catalyst based on a ruthenium salt. The proportion of water relative to that of organic solvent is sufficiently small for at least the major part of the oxidizing compound to remain in the solid state in the reaction medium, which is heterogeneous.
