Highly efficient hydrogenative depolymerisation of polycaprolactone to 1,6-hexanediol
{{output}}
We report here our study on the development of an efficient process to make 1,6-hexanediol from the hydrogenation of polycaprolactone assisted by ethanolysis. Using a ruthenium SNS pincer catalyst, a record high turnover number of 19 600 with 98% yield of 1,6-... ...
