Abstract
Optimum conditions have been determined for the oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone, using a combination of rhodium trichloride and ferric chloride with molecular oxygen. An upper limit of 40–45% conversion to cyclohexanone is probably the result of strong interaction between the ketone product and an active catalytic species. The process occurs with concurrent formation of water. Cyclohexene, produced by a side reaction, and water have also been found to inhibit ketone formation. Additional oxygenated products account for the excess uptake of oxygen.
