    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing ε-caprolactone. The method comprises the steps of: adding cyclohexanone, a co-oxidant and a certain amount of catalyst into a certain amount of organic solvent, using molecular oxygen as an oxidant, implementing a reaction with stirring for 0.1 to 24 hours under a pressure of 0.1 to 2 MPa and at a temperature of 60° C. to 100° C., wherein the co-oxidant is acrolein, and the catalyst is a carbon material. The present invention has the advantages of high-efficiency co-oxidant, easily available and recovered catalyst, environmental-friendly oxidant, simple operation and low cost.
