Abstract
Improved processes for the conversion to oximes by selective oxidation, in the vapor phase, of saturated primary aliphatic or alicyclic amines having 2 to 12 carbon atoms especially cyclohexylamine to cyclohexanone oxime with elemental oxygen, in a reaction zone, in the presence of an effective amount of a catalyst comprising an oxygen-containing tungsten compound and alumina by (1) periodically regenerating the oxygen-containing tungsten catalyst by heating same at about 250.degree. C.-300.degree. C. in the presence of elemental oxygen, or (2) maintaining the temperature of the oxygen-containing tungsten catalyst in a range of about 100.degree. C.-145.degree. C. or (3) employing higher mol fractions of oxygen and of amine in a range of about 0.2-0.4 in the vapor phase are disclosed. An improved method of preparing an oxygen-containing tungsten on an alumina catalyst is also disclosed.
