Baeyer-Villiger reaction
The Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement is the conversion of a ketone to an ester via the insertion
of an oxygen atom next to the carbonyl.
The reaction involves initial addition of a peroxide to the carbonyl carbon. The resulting
adduct undergoes rearrangement to form the ester.
