## 9. Caprolactone production
- ε-Caprolactone (ε-CL) is produced industrially through several methods,
- primarily via the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone using
- peracetic acid or catalytic systems with dioxygen. Alternative methods
- include the biocatalytic conversion of cyclohexanol using enzymes like
- Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases and the direct condensation of
- 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid. Caprolactone is a monomer used in the production
- of highly specialised polymers. Ring-opening polymerization, for
- example, gives polycaprolactone. Another polymer is polyglecaprone, used
- as suture material in surgery ---
