Solution

The correct option is A Baeyer-Villiger oxidation
The Elbs persulfate oxidation is the organic reaction of phenols with alkaline potassium persulfate to form para-diphenols.
The Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction is an organic reaction used to convert a carboxylic acid with an α-hydrogen and a halogen, to an α-halo carboxylic acid, using a phosphorous catalyst and water.
Oppenauer oxidation, is a gentle method for selectively oxidizing secondary alcohols to ketones. The alcohol is oxidized with aluminium isopropoxide in excess acetone. This shifts the equilibrium toward the product side.
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. Aldehydes and ketones to esters Peroxyacids like peroxybenzoic acid or peroxides are used as the oxidant.
The correct answer is option D The Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation
