Abstract
A novel method for the asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclobutanon es using diethylzinc/oxygen/chiral amino alcohols has been developed. The b est result was obtained using (1R,2S)-N, N-diethylnorephedrine as the chira l ligand: 3-phenylcyclobutanone was converted into (S)-beta -phenyl-gamma - butyrolactone with 39% ee and in 75% chemical yield.
