Baeyer–Villiger oxidation

The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (also called Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement) is an organic reaction that forms an ester from a ketone or a lactone from a cyclic ketone. Peroxyacids or peroxides are used as the oxidant. The reaction is named after Adolf Baeyer and Victor Villiger who first reported the reaction in 1899.
