Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Cyclohexanone with Molecular Oxygen in the Presence of Benzaldehyde

Abstract
The metal-catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with molecular oxygen (latm) in the presence of benzaldehyde gives δ -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.
