Multi-membered O,S-heterocyclesR 0691 Hydrotalcites as Catalysts for the Baeyer—Villiger Oxidation of Cyclic Ketones

with Hydrogen Peroxide/Benzonitrile. — Three hydrotalcites with variable Mg/Al ratios act as catalysts for the title reaction of cyclohexanone under mild conditions. The catalytic activity increases with increasing magnesium content. The presence of ben-zonitrile is essential for the oxidation reaction. Substoichiometric amounts of a surfac-tant improve the conversion and the catalytic activity while preserving 100% selectiv-ity. The best catalyst among those studied is also effective in the oxidation of other cyclic ketones with excellent conversion results. — (RUIZ*, J.
