A. Bravo et al., OXENOID OXYGEN INSERTION VS A RADICAL MECHANISM IN THE OXIDATION OF ALKANES AND ALCOHOLS - THE CASE OF AROMATIC PERACIDS, Chemical communications, (15), 1996, pp. 1843-1844
Adamantane is oxidised by MCPBA in a free-radical process, whose selec
tivity is discussed; by this method, cyclohexanol can be directly oxid
ised to caprolactone.
