(57) 【Abstract】 PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide alicyclic ketones under mild conditions by using a catalyst which is neither toxic nor toxic, easy to handle, easy to separate from the reaction system, and easy to dispose of. To produce lactones and acyclic esters from acyclic ketones in high yield. In a method for producing a lactone or an acyclic ester by liquid-phase oxidizing an alicyclic ketone or an acyclic ketone in the presence of a catalyst and a peroxide, A basic layered compound is used as the catalyst. |
