Described is a process for the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in a liquid phase using oxygen-containing gases at temperatures of 140-190 ° C under a pressure of 0.5-5 MPa in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is a mixture of two compounds: (1) a cobalt organic salt and (2) a metalloporphyrin, preferably manganese, iron or cobalt porphyrin, without any substituents in the porphyrin ring, especially tetrafenylporphyrin (TPP) or metalloporphyrin. |
