The Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement with metal triflates: new developments toward mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Based on MS analysis, the mechanism of the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones with hydrogen peroxide using metal triflates (Ga(OTf)₃ and Er(OTf)₃) as catalysts was proposed. In the case of cyclohexanone as a substrate, dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric peroxide structures were detected.
