  • Lactone monomers for recyclable polyesters are conventionally synthesized via endergonic, non-oxidative dehydrocyclization of fossil-derived diols in the vapor phase over precious-metal catalysts at elevated temperatures. Here, the authors demonstrate a low-temperature, solvent-free, oxidative route to lactones from bio-derivable liquid diols using earth-abundant calcium-copper mixed-metal oxide catalysts.

  • Catalytic methods for converting bio-derived feedstocks into lactones are reviewed, emphasizing scalable, energy-efficient processes. Free energy analysis guides process design and pathway selection, whereas literature highlights accessible lactone precursors from various metabolic and chemo-catalytic pathways.
