Question

Consider the following Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.
Which statement(s) is/are correct?

• A. EWG in peracid facilitates the reaction.
• B. Strong $\overline{e}$-donating group migrates.
• C. The migrating group order is $3^{\circ }alkyl>Phenyl>H>{23}^{\circ }alkyl>I{3}^{\circ }alkyl>Me.$
• D. The migrating group order of substituted phenyl group is $p-Anisyl>p-Tolyl>ph>p-Chlorophenyl>p-nitrophenyl$

Answer 1

The correct option is A EWG in peracid facilitates the reaction.

The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of acetophenone gives phenol and acetic acid.

Electron withdrawing group in peracid facilitates the reaction.
