A run was carried out in exactly the same manner as Run 10, except that the tertiary alcohol was cumenol and the tertiary hydroperoxide was cumene hydroperoxide. The mole ratio of cumenol to cyclohexane was 0.329:1 and the mole ratio of cumene hydroperoxide to cyclohexane was 0.086:1. A cyclohexyl hydroperoxide yield of 56 mole percent, a cyclohexanol yield of 20 mole percent, a cyclohexanone yield of 11 mole percent and a residue of 13 mole percent was obtained at a conversion level of 8.1 mole percent and a percent conversion rate of 5.8 percent per hour. This run demonstrates that other tertiary alcohols and hydroperoxides are effective in the process of this invention.
