MMPP (Magnesium Monoperoxyphthalate) in acetonitrile; a new approach to the synthesis of lactones via Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608004783

A variety of unsubstituted and mono- or di-substituted cycloalkanones can be oxidised with modest excess of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate in acetonitrile to produce the corresponding lactones in facile, selective, and high yielding manner.
