During Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclohexanone with peracids, oligo(ε-caprolactone) (OCL) may be formed. In this work, a two-step one-pot method for the synthesis of OCL involving the BV oxidation of cyclohexanone with peracids and then oligomerization of the resulting ε-caprolactone has been developed. The process was carried out in two solvents: toluene and cyclohexane. Based on the studies, it was determined that the increased temperature (45-55 °C) and the longer reaction time (4 h) ...[more]
