A series of γ-butyrolactone derivatives, including some spiranic ones, was obtained through desymmetrization of the corresponding prochiral 3-substituted cyclobutanones via Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed oxidation. After reaction optimization using several commercial enzymes, both antipodes of various lactones were synthesized in most cases with >90% conversion and >80% enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions. In some cases alcohol formation was also observed (up to 40% conversion) as an undesired side reaction due to the presence of alcohol dehydrogenases in these preparations. Selected transformations were achieved on a 100 mg scale showing the possibilities of these oxidative biocatalysts as a new source of highly interesting compounds.

A one-pot chemoenzymatic method has been described for the synthesis of γ-butyrolactones starting from the corresponding ketones through a Baeyer-Villiger reaction. The approach is based on a lipase-catalyzed perhydrolysis for the formation of peracetic acid, which is the responsible for the ketone oxidation. Optimization studies have been performed in the oxidation of cyclobutanone, finding Candida antarctica lipase type B, ethyl acetate and urea-hydrogen peroxide complex as the best system. The relative ratio of these reagents has also been analyzed in depth. This synthetic approach has been successfully extended to a family of 3-substituted cyclobutanones in high substrate concentration, yielding the corresponding lactones with excellent isolated yields and purities, under mild reaction conditions and after a simple extraction protocol.

Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclobutanones is achieved in current developed protocol with 10-methylacridinium perchlorate (AcrH +ClO4-) as a novel organocatalyst both with irradiation at room temperature and without irradiation at elevated temperature. Excellent yields of the corresponding lactones are obtained and the possible mechanism has been proposed.
