<p>Process for preparing a cycloalkanone and/or cycloalkanol by oxidation of a cycloalkane with 5 - 12 carbon atoms using ogygen to form a cycloalkylhydroperoxide, followed by a decomposition of the cycloalkylhydroperoxide in the presence of an organic metal complex, characterised in that the decomposition of the cycloalkylhydroperoxide is carried out in the presence of a phthalocyanine or porphyrin metal complex immobilized on a carrier material. The metal in the complex is Co, Mn, Cr, Fe and/or V. As carrier, inorganic carriers, such as alumina, TiO2, SiO2 or organic carriers, such as modified polystyrene, ethylene copolymer with vinyl acetate, etc., are suitable. The decomposition of cycloalkylhydroperoxide is preferably carried out in the presence of oxygen what results in the improved yield of the reaction.</p> |
