<p>Disclosed is a method for industrially efficiently producing a corresponding useful oxidation product such as a cycloalkyl hydroperoxide, a cycloalkanol, and/or a cycloalkanone, especially a particularly useful cycloalkanone, from a cycloalkane with a high selectivity in a good yield at low cost. This method is advantageous in respect of energy and process. Specifically, an oxidation product of a cycloalkane is obtained by oxidizing the cycloalkane in a liquid-liquid two phase system using an aqueous solvent in the presence of a nitrogen atom- containing cyclic compound which contains, as its ring constituent, a structure represented by following Formula
(I):
wherein X represents an oxygen atom or an -OR group, and
wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl-protecting group,
and which has a solubility in water at 25°C of 0.5 g/100 g-H 2 O or more.</p> |
