Abstract
In the new EniChem process cyclohexanone oxime is directly synthesized by ammoximation of cyclohexanone with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide on titanium silicalite catalyst. The ammoximation reaction is suitable for the synthesis of several oximes by reaction of the corresponding ketones with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide on titanium silicalite. New results on ketones ammoximation and on reaction byproducts are reported. The effect of some reaction parameters on the oxime yield and on byproducts formation is discussed.
