Beteiligte Stoffe

Reaktionsschritte

2 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 4 mmol of di-tert-butyl peroxide are added at a temperature of 130° C. to 200 mmol of cyclooctane in a round-bottomed flask having an attached reflux condenser. Air at approximately 15 l/h is passed through the reaction mixture for 8 hours at said temperature. Cyclooctanol is obtained at a selectivity of 15% and cyclooctanone at a selectivity of 43%, at a cyclooctane conversion rate of 51%.
