Abstract
Several diselenides were tested for catalytic activity in Baeyer-Villiger r eactions with 60% aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Bis [3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)p henyl] diselenide forms the corresponding 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene s eleninic acid in situ, which is a highly reactive and selective catalyst fo r the oxidation of carbonyl compounds in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol,, or dichloromethane.
