Abstract

A lactonization of various diols catalyzed by platinum on carbon (Pt/C) in water under an atmosphere of molecular oxygen was developed. Derivatives of 1,4- 1,5- and 1,6-diols were transformed into the corresponding five-, six-, and seven-membered lactones by the present oxidative lactonization method.
