Abstract:Lactones has gained increasing attention in recent years due to wide application in polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Traditional synthetic methods of lactones often involve harsh operating temperature, use of strong alkalis and toxic oxidants. Therefore, lactonization of diols under milder conditions have been viewed as the most promising route for future commercialization. A variety of metal catalysts (Ru, Pt, Ir, Au, Fe, Cu, Co, and Zn) have been developed for highly efficient oxidant‐, acceptor‐, base… Show more
