Abstract:
1. A process for the catalytic oxidation of an organic substrate selected from the group consisting of olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, and carbonyl compounds, wherein said aromatic hydrocarbons optionally comprise substituents selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy and hydroxyl groups, with an organic hydrogen peroxide solution, which includes up to 20 wt. % water, in the presence of an oxidation catalyst selected from the group consisting of titanium silicalites and vanadium, molybdenum and tungsten compounds, and mixtures thereof, wherein the organic hydrogen peroxide solution, is obtained by direct synthesis, wherein hydrogen and oxygen are passed, in the presence of a water-soluble organic solvent, over a fixed bed of catalyst particles which are bonded to a support or a mixture of catalyst-containing and catalyst-free particles, wherein a non-explosive gas mixture comprising H said hydrogen peroxide solution is prepared immediately before the oxidation.
