There is provided a process for the non-catalytic oxidation of gaseous hydrocarbons, preferably propylene. A mixture of propylene, oxygen and a inert diluent are provided to a rector vessel capable of maintaining an isothermal reaction. Maintaining a temperature in the range of about 200.degree. C. to about 350.degree. C. and a propylene partial pressure of about 80 psia to about 300 psia provides the highest propylene oxide selectivity.
