Ma. Mantegazza et al., AMMOXIMATION OF KETONES ON TITANIUM SILICALITE - A STUDY OF THE REACTION BY-PRODUCTS, Topics in catalysis, 3(3-4), 1996, pp. 327-335
In the new EniChem process cyclohexanone oxime is directly synthesized
by ammoximation of cyclohexanone with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide o
n titanium silicalite catalyst. The ammoximation reaction is suitable
for the synthesis of several oximes by reaction of the corresponding k
etones with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide on titanium silicalite. New
results on ketones ammoximation and on reaction byproducts are reporte
d. The effect of some reaction parameters on the oxime yield and on by
products formation is discussed.
