^aReaction conditions: catalyst (1 × 10⁻³ mmol dm⁻³), substrate (3 mol dm⁻³), oxidant (0.7 mol dm⁻³) in DCM : ACN solvent mixture (9 : 1 v/v).

^b-ol = cyclohexanol and -one = cyclohexanone.

^cTotal TON = no. of mmol of product/no. of mmol of catalyst.

^dA/K = TON of -ol/(TON of -one + TON of ε-caprolactone).

^eYield based on the oxidant.
