Patent ID: 8779125

Claim:
A redox ammoximation process comprising reacting a C 6 -C 12 cyclic ketone with ammonia and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst to form an oxime; wherein the catalyst has the formula (I) or (II): M 1 M 2 AlPO (I) or M 1 M 2 SAlPO (II) wherein M 1 represents an atom selected from Co(III), Mn(III), Fe(III), Ti(IV), Cu(III), V(V), and Ru(III) and having redox catalytic capability; wherein M 2 an atom selected from Co(III), Mn(III), Fe(III), Ti(IV), Cu(III), and Ru(III) and having redox catalytic capability; wherein M 1 and M 2 represent different atoms; and some of the phosphorus atoms may be replaced with Ti(IV), (Cr(VI), or V(V).
