Abstract: The oxidation of cyclohexylamine catalyzed by Al2O3-SiO2 catalyst was carried out under mild conditions. The effects of solvent amount, catalyst amount, reaction time and reaction temperature on the reaction were investigated. Under the conditions of V(acetonitrile)∶V(cyclohexylamine)=3∶1, 31.0% mass fraction of catalyst, reaction temperature of 75 ℃, and reaction time of 5 h, the conversion of cyclohexylamine reaches up to 100% and the selectivity for cyclohexanone oxime is 83.6%. A reaction mechanism is proposed.

Key words: cyclohexylamine, oxidation, cyclohexanone oxime
