A convergent cascade reaction coupling a cyclohexanone monooxygenase variant and an alcohol dehydrogenase to make ?-caprolactone from cyclohexanone and 1,6-hexanediol was characterized via progress curve analysis with two kinetic models developed iteratively. A chemical side reaction occurring with the utilized Tris buffer and consequent byproduct formations were considered in Model 2, which reduced the root-mean-square error (RMSE) values by half, compared to Model 1 (RMSE values of 13%-40%). The optimized model, Model 2, led us to simulate the cascade reaction including 22 kinetic parameters with a maximum RMSE value in the range of 10%-21%.
Green Oxidation of Ketones to Lactones with Oxone in Water

Cyclic ketones were quickly and quantitatively converted to 5-, 6-, and 7-membered lactones, very important synthons, by treatment with Oxone, a cheap, stable, and nonpollutant oxidizing reagent, in 1 M NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 water solution (pH 7). Under such simple and green conditions, no hydroxyacid was formed, thus making the adoption of more complex and non-eco-friendly procedures previously developed to avoid lactone hydrolysis unnecessary. With some changes, the method was successfully applied also to water-insoluble ketones such as adamantanone, acetophenone, 2-indanone, and the challenging cycloheptanone.

Applicability of the oxazoline-based compounds, bis(2-oxazolynyl)methane (BOX) and 2,6-bis(2-oxazolynyl)pyridine (PyBOX), as supporting ligands of nickel(II) complexes for the catalysis of aliphatic C–H hydroxylation with m-CPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) was explored. Substituent groups at the fourth and fifth positions of oxazoline rings and the bridgehead carbon atom of the BOX derivatives affected the catalytic performances toward cyclohexane hydroxylation. Presence of dioxygen led to a reduced catalytic performance of the nickel complexes, except in the case of a fully substituted BOX ligand complex.
