Abstract
Using aqueous hydrogen peroxide containing 30% H2O2, solid acid catalysts w ere compared in their performance as catalysts for the transformation of cy clopentanone to delta-valerolactone. It could be shown that organic ion exc hange resins with sulphonic acid groups providing acid functionality are pr omising catalysts for this reaction. The variation of several reaction para meters was studied in more detail. The obtained results were compared to in vestigations of zeolites and Nafion(R) composite materials.
