δ-Lactones with anti-Baeyer–Villiger regiochemistry are formed by aerobic, cerium-catalyzed umpolung reactions. A mechanistic proposal involving an oxycarbenium ion intermediate is supported by kinetics of the reaction (Hammett plot). Furthermore, a conformational analysis obtained by DFT calculations explains the anti-Baeyer–Villiger regiochemistry of the rearrangement reaction by a primary stereoelectronic effect. More information can be found in the Full Paper by J. Christoffers, et al. on page 7245.
