How can cyclohexane be oxidized into cyclohexanone?

Cyclohexane can be oxidized into cyclohexanone by using an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) in the presence of a catalyst like sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The cyclohexane reacts with the oxidizing agent, resulting in the formation of cyclohexanol, which is further oxidized to cyclohexanone.
