Highly efficient hypoiodite-catalyzed oxylactonization of aliphatic γ-oxocarboxylic acids to the corresponding γ-acyl-γ-butyrolactones was developed. Highly dilute reaction conditions and slow addition of the oxidant are both highly effective for promoting the high-performance hypoiodite/hydrogen peroxide catalytic oxidation system.
