Vol. 443 (2012), pp. 27-320926-860Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/5095Rhenium (I, III-V or VII) complexes bearing N-donor or oxo-ligands catalyse the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic and linear ketones (e.g. 2-methylcyclohexanone, 2-methylcyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, cyclobutanone and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) into the corresponding lactones or esters, in the presence of aqueous H2O2 (30%). The effects of various reaction parameters are studied allowing to achieve yields up to 54%.engBaeyer-Villiger OxidationHydrogen PeroxideRhenium ComplexesHomogeneous CatalysisKetonesLactonesC-ScorpionatesPyrazolePT-II catalystsHydrogen-peroxideMolecular-oxygenIonic liquidsLactone hydrolysisMetal-catalystsLewis acidityPlatinum(II)Palladium(II)Cyclohexanonejournal article10.1016/j.apcata.2012.07.007
