Abstract

Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Cyclobutanones with 10-Methylacridinium as an Efficient Organocatalyst. -A metal-free and convenient approach to substituted lactones under conditions A) or B) affords the target compounds with high yields. In most cases, slightly higher yields are observed under conditions A). -(XU*, H.-J.; ZHU, F.-F.; SHEN, Y.-Y.; WAN, X.; FENG, Y.-S.; Tetrahedron 68 (2012) 22, 4145-4151, http://dx.
