Abstract

The development of efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts is pivotal in fine chemical synthesis. In this study, an impregnating approach was used to obtain copper oxide-modified SBA-15 as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of caprolactone from cyclohexanone with molecular oxygen as an oxidant and benzaldehyde as a sacrificial agent. The influence of experimental factors such as solvents, copper loading, substrate-to-oxidant mole ratio, temperature, and reaction duration on substrate conversion and selectivity to caprolactone was also investigated. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a cyclohexanone conversion of 63% was observed with a selectivity higher than 96% after a duration of 6 h at 50 °C. Catalyst recovery could be achieved by simple filtration and reused at least four times without a significant loss in conversion and selectivity.
