ChemInform Abstract: Baeyer‐Villiger Reaction in the Solid State.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The oxidation of the ketones (I) and (III) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, yielding the carboxylates (II) or (IV) and (V), is investigated in the solid state or in solution. In case of the ketones (Ic) -(Ie) and (III), the reaction proceeds much faster in the solid state than in solution.
