Abstract: The invention relates to a catalyst comprising .alpha.-aluminium oxide as the support material and copper as the active constituent, the BET surface (as defined in DIN 66131) of the aluminium oxide being not lower than 30 m2/g. It also relates to a process for preparing said catalyst according to the invention, and the use thereof in dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to form cyclohexanone, and also to the use of .alpha.-aluminium oxide, the BET surface (as defined in DIN 66131) of said aluminium oxide being not lower than 30 m2/g, to prepare a catalyst.
