In 1980, K.B. Sharpless and T. Katsuki discovered that the combination of titanium (IV) tetraisopropoxide, optically active diethyl tartrate, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide caused a wide variety of allylic alcohols to epoxidize in high yields.
While exploring the ring cleavage of cyclic ketones in 1899, A. Baeyer and V. Villiger discovered that ketones could be transformed into esters, and cyclic ketones into lactones or hydroxy acids, by using peroxyacids. This reaction became known as the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.
