Chapter 18, Problem 55DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct statement out of the given statements related to the reaction of substituted diphenyl ketones is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

During the Baeyer Villiger oxidation of ketones, an oxygen atom is inserted between the carbonyl group and one of the carbons attached to it. The product formed is an ester.

Usually, the oxygen atom is inserted between the carbonyl and the larger of the two groups attached to the carbonyl.

The ketone is converted to the conjugate acid of the ester. Further hydrolysis of the conjugate acid forms the ester.

The peroxy acid used is converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid.

The electron releasing groups on the substituent increase the rate of migration while electron withdrawing groups decrease the rate of migration.
