## Abstract DFT computations have been performed on selected stationary points of the reaction path (reactants, intermediates, and products) of the Baeyer–Villiger type oxidation of 7‐phosphanorbornene 7‐oxide derivatives. Our computations justified the relevance of a Criegee‐type intermediate form

The X-ray structures Ni(COD)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) tained as the .sjwall-rrun,s isomer 3a, and of 3a and 4 arc reported. The hexaradi- in DMF at 65-70 'C yielded a mixture of alene 4 has a chair conformation, and dethe title compounds. The mixture was sepby column chromatography to yield hexabromotricyclobutabenzene (3 a) and hexabromohexaradialene (4) in 24 viates from planarity by 43.6'. Heat or radical impurities cause the clean transformation of 3a to 4.

Environmentally friendly oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or dioxygen can be used today in catalytic versions of the almost one century old Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with transition metal complexes as catalysts. On the right is a sketch of a possible mechanism for this reaction with a plat
