Aliphatic or alicyclic monoketones or alicyclic diketones of formula (I): R<1>-C(=O)-R<2>, wherein R<1 >is a linear or branched C1-10-alkyl group and R<2 >is a linear or branched C1-10-alkyl group or a phenyl group, or R<1 >and R<2 >together are -(CH2)m-[C(=O)]n-(CH2)p-, wherein m and p independently are integers from 1 to 4 and n is 0 or 1, thus forming an alicyclic ring together with the carbonyl group of (I), are produced by oxidizing an alcohol of formula (II): R<1'>-CHOH-R<2'>, in which R<1'> and R<2'> either have the same meaning as R<1 >and R<2 >above or, if R<1 >and R<2 >together are -(CH2)m-[C(=O]n-(CH2)p-, are together -(CH2)m-(CHOH)n-(CH2)p- wherein m, n and p are as defined above, with a peroxy compound in the presence of a carboxylic acid and a manganese(IV) complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane.
