Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing cycloalkanones and cycloalkanols by conversion of cycloalkylhydroperoxides under the influence of a solid heterogeneous catalyst wherein cycloalkylhydroperoxides having 5-12 carbon atoms in the ring are converted under the influence of an oxidic, chromium catalyst which does not contain any copper oxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A process for preparing cycloalkanones and cycloalkanols by conversion of cycloalkylhydroperoxides under the influence of a solid heterogeneous catalyst comprising converting a cycloalkylhydroperoxide having 5-12 carbon atoms in the ring by heating said cycloalkylhydroperoxide at a temperature of from about 30° C to about 150° C in the presence of a copper oxide-free chromium oxide catalyst wherein the valency of the chromium is from 3 to 6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A process for preparing cycloalkanones and cycloalkanols by conversion of cycloalkylhydroperoxides under the influence of a solid heterogeneous catalyst comprising converting a cycloalkylhydroperoxide having 5-12 carbon atoms in the ring by heating said cycloalkylhydroperoxide at a temperature of from about 30° C to about 150° C in the presence of a copper oxide-free chromium oxide catalyst wherein the valency of the chromium is from 3 to 6.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the conversion of cycloalkylhydroperoxide is carried out at a temperature of between 60° and 110° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said catalyst is produced from a compound decomposable into chromium oxide when heated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said catalyst is supported on a carrier with a load factor of not more than 10% by weight of chromium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the catalyst is chromium (VI) oxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process according to claim 4, wherein said catalyst is prepared by heating at 300°-500° C in the presence of a molecular oxygen containing gas a chromium (III) oxide or a compound changeable thereto upon heating.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the cycloalkylhydroperoxide used is employed as a solution in the corresponding cycloalkane derived from the liquid phase oxidation of the cycloalkane using a molecular oxygen containing gas as the oxidant.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 7 wherein the liquid phase oxidation reaction product is washed with water prior to use in the conversion process.
