title: Enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation catalyzed by palladium(II) complexes with chiral P,N-ligands.
abstract: Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger reaction of symmetrical cyclobutanones 1a-j with urea-hydrogen peroxide (UHP) can be catalyzed by a complex of Pd(II) and the new terpene-derived P, N-ligand 7. The resulting lactones 2a-j were obtained in high yields and with good enantioselectivity (< or =81% ee).
