The instability of hydroxy peroxyesters, the elusive Criegee intermediates of the Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement, can be alleviated by selective deactivation of the stereoelectronic effects that promote the 1,2‐alkyl shift. Stable cyclic Criegee intermediates constrained within a five‐membered ring c...
