METHOD OF PRODUCING CYCLOHEXANOL

摘要

FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves oxidation of cyclohexane with hypobromous acid HOBr, generated in situ from carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) and water (H2O) in the presence of a molybdenum-containing catalyst Mo(CO)6 at temperature 125-160C for 4-6 hours, in molar ratio [catalyst] : [cyclohexane] : [CBr4] : [H2O]=1-3:100:100:1500-2000. ^ EFFECT: method enables to obtain and end product with high output while using available and cheap raw material. ^ 1 tbl, 7 ex
