<p>Cycloalkyl hydroperoxides are prepared by contacting a cycloalkane in the liquid phase at elevated temperature with oxygen, separating the hydroperoxide formed, and recycling at least part of the unoxidized cycloalkane to the oxidation zone after treatment with a basic reagent. The oxygen may be introduced into the oxidation zone as air or, preferably air mixed with an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. An example describes the preparation of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide.</p> |
