Purified mCPBA, a Useful Reagent for the Oxidation of Aldehydes

Purified mCPBA is a useful reagent for the oxidation of several classes of aldehyde. Although linear unbranched aliphatic aldehydes are oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids, α-branched ones undergo Baeyer–Villiger oxidation to formates. α-Branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes provide enolformates and/or epoxides, which can be saponified to α-hydroxy ketones with shortening of the carbon chain by 1 carbon. Unbranched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes undergo an interesting Baeyer–Villiger oxidation/epoxidation/formate migration/BV oxidation cascade, which results in formyl-protected hydrates with an overall loss of two carbon atoms.
