    Abstract: A process of the present invention produces a corresponding dicarboxylic acid by oxidative cleavage of a cycloalkane with oxygen and performs a reaction in the presence of a catalyst including an imide compound and a metallic compound, the imide compound having a cyclic imide skeleton represented by following Formula (I): wherein X is an oxygen atom or an-OR group, and wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl-protecting group, under conditions of a reaction temperature of 80 DEG C or higher and a concentration of the cycloalkane in a system of 21% by weight or more. The imide compound includes, for example, N-hydroxyphthalimide. The amount of the imide compound is, for example, from about 0.000001 to about 0.01 mole per mole of the cycloalkane. In the production of a corresponding dicarboxylic acid by catalytic oxidation of a cycloalkane with oxygen, the present invention can yield the dicarboxylic acid in a high space time yield even using a small amount of the catalyst.

    Abstract: A process for producing dicarboxylic acids by oxidative cleavage of cycloalkanes with oxygen, characterized in that the oxidative cleavage is conducted in the presence of a catalyst constituted of both an imido compoun d having a cyclic imide skeleton represented by the general formula (I): (I) [wherein X is oxygen or OR (wherein R is hydrogen or a hydroxyl-protecting group)] and a metal compound at a temperature of 80 ~C or above in a reactio n system having a cycloalkane concentration of 21 wt% or above. The imido compound is N-hydroxyphthalimide or the like, and is used in an amount of about 0.000001 to 0.01 mol per mol of the cycloalkane. In producing dicalboxylic acids by catalytic oxygenation of cycloalkanes, this process attains high space time yield even with a reduced amount of a catalyst.
