FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method of producing cyclohexanol and/or cyclohexanone, which consists in oxidizing cyclohexane with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of an imide catalyst at high temperature and pressure. Initially heating mixture of initial cyclohexane with catalyst to temperature of 155–170 °C, then air is supplied, mixture is held for 0.5–5 minutes, after which temperature is reduced to 115–150 °C, at which the process is carried out for 30–90 minutes, wherein catalyst used is compound of following formula (1), where R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄ – identical or different substitutes, for example, hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, hydroxyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl group (1), R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄=H (a); R₂, R₃, R₄=H, R₁=CH₃ (b); R₁, R₃, R₄=H, R₂=CH₃ (c); R₂, R₃, R₄=H, R₁=C₆H₅ (d); R₁, R₃, R₄=H, R₂=C₆H₅ (e); R₂, R₃, R₄=H, R₁=Cl (f); R₁, R₃, R₄=H, R₂=Cl (g); R₂, R₃, R₄=H, R₁=Br (h); R₁, R₃, R₄=H, R₂=Br (i); R₂, R₃, R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄=Cl (k); R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄=Br (I); R₁, R₃, R₄=H, R₂=NO₂ (n).

EFFECT: disclosed method increases rate and selectivity of the process.
