Abstract

Abstract The enantioselective Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones is a challenging reaction, especially when using environmentally friendly oxidants. The reaction was carried out in water by using soft Lewis acid Pt II complexes that have chiral diphosphines as well as monophosphines. Addition of a surfactant is crucial, which leads to the formation of micelles that act as nanoreactors in which the substrate and catalyst encounter each other in an ...
