    Abstract: 1,151,574. Cycloalkanols and cycloalkanones. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA FABRIK A.G. 16 Sept., 1966 [17 Sept., 1965], No. 41468/66. Heading C2C. A mixture of a cycloalkanol and a cyclealkanone is obtained from a cycloalkane having 5-12 ring atoms by contacting the cycloalkane with molecular oxygen at a temperature of about 80-200‹ C., a pressure to maintain the reaction mixture in the liquid phase and in the presence of a cycloalkane oxidation catalyst and a minor amount of an olefinically unsaturated compound containing 3-20 carbon atoms which can be epoxidized under the reaction conditions. Suitable cycloalkane oxidation catalysts are, for example, the salts of vanadium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, iron, cobalt or nickel with lauric acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and naphthenic acids or the acetylacetonates, acetonylacetonates or carbonyls of these metals. Suitable olefinically unsaturated compounds are unsaturated hydrocarbons or those containing halogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, ester or ether substituents. Examples are given of the oxidation of cyclohexane and cyclooctane.
