Abstract:
Heliotropin is oxidized with a percarboxylic acid in the presence of formic acid and an optionally added organic solvent, to thereby produce sesamol at high efficiency while suppressing by-production of heliotropic acid.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a method for purifying ε-caprolactone by which a high yield of the ε-caprolactone is obtained from a reactional mixture prepared by oxidizing cyclohexanone by distillation. CONSTITUTION: Low-boiling substances contained in a reactional mixture prepared by oxidizing cyclohexanone are distilled away by the first distillation step and high-boiling fraction impurities are then taken out in a low concentrated state as a bottom product in the second distillation step for distilling away the product ε-caprolactone from the first bottom product and separating the ε-caprolactone from high-boiling substances so as to provide at least >=20wt.% lactone concentration in the second bottom product. The ε- caprolactone contained in the second bottom product is subsequently evaporated with an evaporator and recovered in a method for purifying the ε-caprolactone by distilling the reactional mixture and separating the ε-caprolactone from the impurities.
