Procedure

The invention also relates to a hydrogenation and oxidation process in which a feed comprising cyclohexenylbenzene is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under hydrogenation conditions to form cyclohexylbenzene. The cyclohexylbenzene is then reacted with oxygen (e.g., air) in the presence of an oxidation catalyst under oxidation conditions to form cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide.
