Oxidación de Baeyer-Villiger
R2CO + RCO3H → R2CO2 (ester or lactone)
Descripción general
A peracid oxidizes a ketone by inserting an oxygen atom between the carbonyl carbon and an adjacent carbon, converting the ketone to an ester or lactone. The more substituted group migrates preferentially (migratory aptitude). This reaction is named after Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger who discovered it in 1899.
Ejemplo cotidiano
The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation is used in the synthesis of caprolactone, the monomer for biodegradable polycaprolactone used in medical sutures.
Importancia industrial
La producción de caprolactona mediante la oxidación de Baeyer-Villiger de la ciclohexanona sustenta las industrias de plásticos biodegradables y dispositivos médicos.
