- Abstract
A highly efficient oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone is accomplished over phenanthroline–CuCl2 catalyst in relatively mild conditions. This study realized nearly 100% selectivity for cyclohexanone at 24.4% conversion of cyclohexane. The reaction has been studied by various parameters like performance of copper(II) salts, effect of solvents, influence of bases, the ratio of o-phenanthroline: CuCl2, and reaction time. In order to further study this reaction system, the possible mechanism was proposed.
