G. Mehta et N. Mohal, BAEYER-VILLIGER OXIDATION OF NORBORNAN-7-ONES - LONG-RANGE SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS ON REGIOSELECTIVITY, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (3), 1998, pp. 505-507
The regioselectivity of the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of norbornan-7-o
nes can be steered by the distal 2-endo-substituents present. Hydrolys
is of the resulting bicyclic lactones provides a stereospecific route
to functionalized cyclohexanes.
