The Pt(ii)-catalyzed Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with H2O2 in ionic liquids†
Abstract
The Pt(II)-catalyzed Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with H2O2 in a two-phase system, H2O–IL, is a viable procedure, characterized by synthetically interesting yields, better than those of the same reaction in H2O–halogenated solvents.
