Chemo-enzymatic Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of 4-methylcyclohexanone via kinetic resolution of racemic carboxylic acids: direct access to enantioenriched lactone

A new method for the asymmetric chemo-enzymatic Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of 4-methylcyclohexanone to enantioenriched lactone in the presence of (±)-4-methyloctanoic acid, Candida Antarctica lipase B and 30% aq. H 2 O 2 has been developed.
