Disclosed is a method of oxidizing a cycloalkane to form a product mixture containing a corresponding alcohol and ketone, said method comprising contacting a cycloalkane with a hydroperoxide in the presence of a catalytic effective amount of a crystalline MWW-type titanosilicate catalyst. Hydroperoxides may notably be tert-butyl hydroperoxide, tert-amyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, methylcyclohexyl hydroperoxide, tetralin hydroperoxide, isobutylbenzene hydroperoxide, and ethylnaphthalene hydroperoxide.
