Adipic acid is an important industrial intermediate for the manufacture of nylon-6,6. We propose a recyclable
and environmentally friendly process for the oxidation of cyclohexene by hydrogen peroxide in
microemulsions. These organized nano-structured media have been formulated in using the molecular
economy principle. The main interests of the present work are the easy recovery of pure adipic acid and
the reuse of the reaction media, what are promising for developing a future green industrial process.
