While exploring the ring cleavage of cyclic ketones in 1899, A. Baeyer and V. Villiger discovered that ketones could be transformed into esters, and cyclic ketones into lactones or hydroxy acids, by using peroxyacids. This reaction became known as the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. The oxidation of ketones by this method has several benefits:
Only a few methods are known for the synthesis of cage-annulated ethers. A.P Marchand and colleagues used the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation for the preparation of novel cage heterocyclic systems, and developed a general process to make cage ethers from cage ketones.
