Abstract

ε-Caprolactone is a key monomer for the synthesis of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and relevant polymer materials could be applied in pharmaceutical, medicinal, and packaging applications. Green and economic synthesis of ε-caprolactone is vital to popularize such eco-friendly polymers, and selective oxidative lactonization of 1,6-hexanediol into ε-caprolactone remains to be developed. In this review, different routes for the synthesis of ε-caprolactone such as Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone and oxidative lactonization of 1,6-hexanediol are comparatively analyzed. According to whether electron acceptors (oxidants) are added to the reaction systems, the related advances of oxidative lactonization of 1,6-hexanediol are summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of the corresponding reaction systems and catalysts are reviewed. The development trend of oxidative lactonization of 1,6-hexanediol into ε-caprolactone is also proposed.
