Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with molecular oxygen in the presence of benzaldehyde

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003530

The metal-catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with molecular oxygen (1atm) in the presence of benzaldehyde gives ε-caprolactone in high yield. The same oxidation in the absence of metal catalysts is also studied. Additives to the system can improve the reaction highly efficiently.
