METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS PREPARATION OF A MIXTURE OF A CYCLOALKANONE, CYCLOALKANOL AND A CYCLOALKYLHYDROPEROXIDE.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the continuous preparation of a mixture of a cycloalkanone, a cycloalkanol and a cycloalkylhydroperoxide. In the method, a cycloalkane, corresponding to the cycloalkenone, cycloalkenol and cycloalkylhydroperoxide, is oxidized in a continuous process, with the aid of an oxygen-containing gas, in the absence of a metal catalyst, at a temperature of between 130 DEG C. and 200 DEG C. The oxidation is at least partly carried out in the presence of between 0.002 and 2 mmol of a phenolic compound per kg of reaction mixture (mmol/kg).
