Abstract

A process for preparing a bicyclooctanone, in particular 1,5-dialkylbicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-one, by reacting a bicyclooctanol, in particular dialkylbicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-ol, with PA1 a. a catalyst applied to an active-carbon support and comprising heteropolyoxometallate anions of vanadium, molybdenum and phosphorus, and also a corresponding alkali-metal, alkaline-earth-metal and/or ammonium counter ion, and PA1 b. a gaseous, oxygen-containing oxidizing agent.
