Abstract
Substituted or unsubstituted cyclohexanones are advantageously prepared by hydrogenation of the corresponding phenols in the presence of a palladium-on-carbon catalyst at from 100 to 250.degree. C. and from 1 to 20 bar of hydrogen pressure if the reaction is carried out in the presence of straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkanes having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure of over 70.degree. C. as solvents. This makes it possible to obtain substituted or unsubstituted cyclohexanones in short hydrogenation times and in high yields using low-toxicity, physically problem-free solvents which are easy to handle from a safety point of view.
