The invention relates to a process for the oxidation of organic compounds by means of oxygen, in which, in a first step, the organic compound and at least part of the oxygen required for the oxidation are introduced into a first reaction zone which is operated isothermally and with backmixing and, in a second step, the reaction mixture from the first reaction zone is introduced into a second reaction zone which is operated adiabatically. The invention further relates to a reactor for carrying out the process, which comprises at least one isothermal reaction zone () and an adiabatic reaction zone () which are arranged in a reactor shell (), with each isothermal reaction zone () being configured in the form of a jet loop reactor and the adiabatic reaction zone () being configured as a bubble column.
