Abstract
Abstract Oxidation of 2-allylcyclohexanone by benzonitrile-hydrogen peroxide gave the expected keto epoxide (III). In contrast, oxidation by peroxyacetic acid afforded the Baeyer-Villiger product, 6-hydroxynon-8-enoic acid lactone (IV). A simplified procedure is described for the benzonitrile-hydrogen peroxide reaction.
