METHOD OF CONTINUOUS PREPARATION OF MIXTURE OF CYCLOALKANOL, CYCLOALKANOL AND CYCLOALKYL HYDROPEROXIDE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: chemical industry. SUBSTANCE: in order to mixture of cycloalkanone, cycloalkanol and cyclalkylhydroperoxide, the corresponding cycloalkane which contains from 5 to 20 carbon atoms is oxidized in continuous process under effect of air or oxygen containing gas at 130 to 200 C. Oxidation is at least partially carried out in the presence from 0.02 to 2 mmoles of phenol compound per 1 kg of reaction mixture (mmole/kg). Phenol compound has molecular weight of less than 1000 and contains 1-5 aromatic rings. In this case, higher selectivity with respect to formation of cycloalkylhydroperoxide is obtained. EFFECT: more efficient preparation method. 11 cl
