Abstract: The effect of ultrasound on cyclohexane and cyclooctane oxidation under Gif conditions was studied. Ultrasound considerably enhanced the oxidation when hydrogen peroxide teas used as an oxidant. Higher cyclohexanone content was achieved after 30 min sonication than after 24 h of silent reaction. Just a minor ultrasound effect was observed when tert-butyl hydroperoxide was used as the oxidant.
