Palladium-Catalyzed Chemo- and Enantioselective C?O Bond Cleavage of α-Acyloxy Ketones by Hydrogenolysis

A chemoselective C?O bond cleavage of the ester alkyl side-chain of α-acyloxy ketones was realized for the first time by a highly efficient palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis (S/C=6000, the highest catalytic efficiency by far). Furthermore, a kinetic resolution of α-acyloxy ketones was first developed by enantioselective hydrogenolysis with good yields and up to 99 % ee.

Ceric ammonium nitrate promoted oxidation of oxazoles

The ceric ammonium nitrate promoted oxidations of 4,5-diphenyloxazoles and oxazoles with various substitution patterns have been investigated. This transformation results in the formation of the corresponding imide in good yield and tolerates a wide variety of functional groups and substituents on the oxazole moiety.
