Abstract

Reaction of alkyl iodides with peracetic acid has been investigated by Ogata and his co-workers. [8] More recently, Beeley and Sutherland have proposed an elimination of hypoiodous acid to account for olefin formation during the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of an iodonorbornanone. [9] Reich et al., [10] reported that the oxidation of acyclic alkyl iodides bearing strong electron-attracting substituents such as carbomethoxy and sulfonyl gives the ...
