This environmentally benign synthesis of adipic acid involves in the direct oxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by Na2WO4·2H2O with 27 5% aqueous hydrogen peroxide using alkyl ammonium sulfate as a phase transfer agent. The results show that N,N-dimethyl-dodecylammonium sulfate, dodecylammonium sulfate and tri-n-octylammonium sulfate can be used as efficient phase transfer agents for this reaction under refluxing temperature. After the reaction is stopped, the homogeneous solution was cooled to 0 ℃ for 12 h. Then the crystalline product was collected by filtration and dried in air, a colorless, analytically pure product adipic acid was obtained in 52.1%—94.1% yields.
