We have found that the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with hydrogen peroxide in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2propanol as solvent is catalyzed by Brรธnsted acids: in the presence of 1 mol% of p-TsOH, transformation to o-caprolactone occurs rapidly and under mild conditions. Epoxidation of 1-oct
