PROCESS FOR PREPARING UNSATURATED LACTONES

The invention relates to a process for preparing saturated or unsaturated lactones. This process involves reacting a bicyclic compound or a monocyclic compound with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a first acid having a pKa of 3 or less and a first organic solvent, thereby forming a hydroperoxide. The obtained mixture comprising the hydroperoxide is subsequently metered to a mixture of a second organic solvent and a dissociation-enhancing catalyst, optionally comprising a second organic acid. The invention also pertains to a process of preparing the hydroperoxide.

Process for the preparation of 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane

Process for the preparation of 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane (DDP-OOH), wherein 13-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadec-1(12)-ene (DDP) and hydrogen peroxide are reacted in a diluent in the presence of a strong acid, the diluent has a pKa value of greater than or equal to 4.5 and the strong acid has a pKa value of less than or equal to 1.5, wherein after the reaction has taken place, the strong acid is neutralized with at least 0.9 molar equivalent of a base.
