Abstract

Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones was carried out using AlCl3 as catalyst, H2O2 (30%) as oxidant in innocuity and environmentally friendly ethanol conditions. Cyclic ketones and acyclic ketones were transformed into the corresponding lactones or esters in 5–24 h at 40–70 °C with very high conversion and selectivity. A possible reaction mechanism was also given.
