Abstract
Autocatalytic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones to lactones mediated by lipases has been achieved under extremely mild conditions in dry media using urea-hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant. Lipa se catalysed perhydrolysis is enantiospecific and gives 6-substituted caprolactones or the corresponding hydroxy acids in enantiomerically e nriched form.
