Baeyer-Villiger reaction radical scavengers

The Ti-silicalite catalysed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone by H2O2 in aqueous solution promotes a high concentration of OH radicals, which accelerate the reaction and the consecutive formation of adipic acid (and of lighter diacids as well) as the kinetically preferred product. In the absence of the catalyst, the primary reaction product is e-caprolactone, which quickly undergoes consecutive transformations to form adipic acid even when a stoichiometric amount of the oxidant is used, since it is more reactive than cyclohexanone. The choice of solvent, which could act as a radical scavenger, also allows control over the reaction rates. ° ...
