Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After cyclohexane (40 mmol), Cu(OAc)2 (2.5×10−3 mmol), acetaldehyde (4.0 mmol), benzonitrile (2.5 ml) and dichloromethane (2.5 ml) were charged into a 25-ml eggplant-type flask, and an oxygen balloon was attached to the flask for supplying oxygen at 1 atm. Then, the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed with the gas chromatography, which revealed that the yield of cyclohexanol was 9% (relative to 1 equivalent of acetaldehyde), that of cyclohexanone was 29% (relative to 2 equivalents of acetaldehyde), and the turnover number of the catalyst was 375.
