A series of organoselenium compounds was investigated as activators of hydrogen peroxide in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.As a result, a convenient and cheap method for transformation of aromatic aldehydes, having polycondensed ring systems or electron-donating substituents, and polymethoxy derivatives of acetophenone, into phenols was elaborated.This method utilizes hydrogen peroxide activated by areneseleninic acids, as oxidizing agent.
