Ac. Gelebe et Pt. Kaye, BENZODIAZEPINE ANALOGS .11. A KINETIC-MECHANISTIC STUDY OF THE FORMATION OF 1,5-BENZODIOXEPIN-2-ONES VIA BAEYER-VILLIGER OXIDATION OF FLAVANONES, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (1), 1996, pp. 26-27
The regioselective Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of selected flavanone
s to 1,5-benzodioxepin-2-ones, using m-chloroperbenzoic acid in CD2Cl2
, has been monitored by H-1 NMR spectroscopy: substituent effects on t
he magnitude of the second-order rate constant and the regioselectivit
y of heteroatom insertion have been examined.
