Procedure
After adding FeCl2 ·4H2O (0.3 g), Pd/alumina(Pd content 1%, 1 g) and cyclohexane (5 g) to the mixture of acetone (15 ml) and acetic acid (5 ml), it was stirred in a flow of hydrogen and oxygen gases at the respective rate of 20 ml/min. As the result of reaction for 3 hours at 35° C. under atmospheric pressure, 4.01 mole % of cyclohexanol and 0.74 mole % cyclohexanone with the total yield of 4.75 mole % were obtained.
