Reaktionsschritte

2 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 4 mmol of cumene hydroperoxide are added at a temperature of 130° C. to 200 mmol of cyclooctane in a round-bottomed flask having an attached reflux condenser. Oxygen at approximately 15 l/h is passed through the reaction mixture for 8 hours at said temperature. Cyclooctanol is obtained at a selectivity of 17% and cyclooctanone at a selectivity of 46%, at a cyclooctcane conversion rate of 53%.
