To provide a method of simply and easily producing a cycloalkanone oxime from inexpensive raw materials.
In the presence of an imide catalyst represented by the following formula (1) (wherein R1 and R2 are identical or different from each other and is H, a halogen atom, an alkyl, an aryl, a cycloalkyl, hydroxyl, an alkoxy, carboxyl, an alkoxycarbonyl and an acyl where R1 and R2 may combine with each other for form a double bone or an aromatic or nonaromatic ring and further the R1 and the R2 or the double bond, aromatic or non-aromatic ring formed by binding with each other may bear an N-substituted ring imide shown in the formula one or more additionally), a cycloalkane is reacted with nitrogen monoxide whereby the cycloalkanone oxime is obtained.
