Education Department (11B122, 08B087 and 09K035), and the Natu-
ral Science Foundation of Hunan Province (11JJ3024).
On the basis of these results in this work, the possible formation
pathway of nitrocyclohexane and adipic acid from vapor phase catalytic
nitration–oxidation of cyclohexane with NO is proposed in Scheme 4.
Obviously, the vapor phase nitration and oxidation reaction of cyclo-
hexane with NO happens simultaneously. Nitrocyclohexane was

obtained from the nitration reaction and adipic acid was afforded
from the oxidation reaction. In the present system, a small amount of
other oxygenated adducts such as cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone
were formed as main by-products in all cases. In this process, V spe-
cies maybe play an important role in abstracting H-atom from alkanes

In conclusion, we have developed a novel approach for highly se-
lective co-production of nitrocyclohexane and adipic acid via vapor
phase nitration–oxidation of cyclohexane with NO under atmo-
spheric pressure. The results indicated that highly total selectivity

catalytic nitration–oxidation reaction conditions are now in progress.
Assuming that the better catalysts can be developed, the method pro-
vides a novel strategy for highly selective synthesis of nitroalkanes
and dicarboxylic acids.
