Relationship between the electrophilicity and σp Hammett constant in Baeyer-Villiger reactions

The σp Hammett substituent constants have been described in terms of the global electrophilicity of aldehydes and ketones involved in Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction. We propose here the first reactivity study for substrates involved in Baeyer-Villiger oxidations by using DFT reactivity index.
