Abstract

Abstract An efficient catalytic system to oxidize quantitatively aliphatic diols using Trametes versicolor laccase and TEMPO has been developed in aqueous medium. Oxidations have occurred in a non-stereoselective fashion but with complete regio-and/or monoselectivity, obtaining lactones with excellent purity after simple extraction. This catalytic system has been demonstrated to be scalable, compatible with the presence of a variety of ...
