In the reaction , the product is :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Question Explanation:  

Predict the major product of the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the given ketone using mCPBA. 

Concept:

This is based on migratory aptitude in Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation. 

Solution:

Migratory order in Bayer Villiger reaction: H > 3° > 2° > aryl > 1° > CH3

In Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation, oxygen insertion occurs between the carbonyl group and the adjacent alkyl group, resulting in the formation of the corresponding ester
