The present invention relates to a process for decomposing organic hydroperoxides in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. More specifically, it consists of a process for decomposing organic hydroperoxides in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst composed of a molecular sieve containing oxides of aluminum or boron or gallium, silicon and / or phosphorus and at least a catalyst metal incorporated into the crystal lattice, characterized in that the water is eliminated during the reaction by any suitable means. Among these hydroperoxides, one of the most interesting is certainly cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, the oxidation of which leads to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, intermediates in the preparation of adipic acid, one of the basic compounds of polyamide 6 -6. |
