Mj. Coleman et al., BAEYER-VILLIGER OXIDATION OF THOXY)-7-ANTI-PIPERIDINOBICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPTAN-2-ONE - PROCESS-DEVELOPMENT AND SCALE-UP, Organic process research & development, 1(1), 1997, pp. 20-25
The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 7-anti-piperidino, 5-endo-biphenyl-4-
ylmethoxy substituted norbornan-2-one was developed to provide a robus
t, reproducible process for manufacture of the regioisomeric lactone w
hich results from migration of the bridgehead carbon atom. Yields of 6
0-63% theory were obtained in a 2250 L plant.
