In Baeyer Villiger oxidation a carbonyl
The Baeyer–Villiger Reaction is a commonly used oxidation reaction in organic synthesis is the conversion of carbonyl compounds into the corresponding esters or lactones
meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA or mCPBA) is a peroxycarboxylic acid. A white solid, it is used widely as an oxidant in organic synthesis.
mCPBA is often preferred to other peroxy acids because of its relative ease of handling.
mCPBA is a strong oxidizing agent that may cause fire upon contact with flammable material.
Oppenauer Oxidation is the process of conversion of secondary alcohols to ketones by selective oxidation. This reaction is named after Rupert Viktor Oppenauer. Oxidation reaction takes place in the presence of [Al(i-Pro)3] in excess of acetone.
It is an aluminium alkoxide catalysed the oxidation of a secondary alcohol to the corresponding ketone. This is reverse of the Meerwein Ponndorf Verley reduction. It is a very good method to oxidize allylic alcohols to α, β- unsaturated ketones.
