Abstract
A regioselective Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of estrone and androstane derivatives into 17a‐oxa‐D‐homosteroids was developed. An important feature of this reaction lies in the selective formation of oxidation products in moderate to high yields using BF3·Et2O/ H2O2 system traditionally applied for peroxide synthesis.
