Abstract
The catalytic Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of flavanones is described by t he use of the homogeneous methyltrioxorhenium (MTO)/H2O2 system. In these e xperimental conditions 3,4-dihydro-4-phenyl-1,5-benzodioxepin-2-ones and pr eviously not reported para-quinone derivatives have been obtained in mild e xperimental conditions from acceptable to good yields.
