Baeyer-Villiger Rearrangement of a Substituted Pyrrole by Oxone.

ABSTRACT: Pyrroloxyls have been reported to exhibit very narrow EPR spectral lines, essential for in vivo imaging. En route to pyrroloxyls, we observed an unexpected Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement, leading to loss of aromaticity and formation of a 4,5-dihydro-1H-ketopyrrole.
