Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of norbornan-7-ones: long-range substituent effects on regioselectivity

Abstract
The regioselectivity of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of norbornan-7-ones can be steered by the distal 2-endo-substituents present. Hydrolysis of the resulting bicyclic lactones provides a stereospecific route to functionalized cyclohexanes.
