Product of the given reaction is:
|
\(RCOOR'\) \(RCH_2COOCH_2R'\) \(RCH_2COCH_2R'\) \(RCH_2COOCH_2R\) |
\(RCH_2COOCH_2R'\) |
The correct answer is option 2. \(RCH_2COOCH_2R'\). The reaction is known as Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation. The Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation is the oxidative cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters and cyclic ketones to lactones. The Baeyer-Villiger can be carried out with peracids, such as trifluoroperacetic acid (TFPAA), perbenzoic acid (PBA), peracetic acid (PAA) or with hydrogen peroxide and a Lewis acid.
