In this paper we describe a detailed mechanistic studies on the [FeII(PBO)2(CF3SO3)2] (1), [FeII(PBT)2(CF3SO3)2] (2), and [FeII(PBI)3](CF3SO3)2 (3)-catalyzed (PBO = 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzoxazole, PBT = 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzthiazole, PBI = 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole) Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cycloketones by dioxygen with cooxidation of aldehydes and peroxycarboxylic acids, including the kinetics on the reactivity of (μ-1,2-peroxo)diiron(III), acylperoxo- and iodosylbenzene-iron(III) species as key intermediates.
