Tuning Regioselectivity of Wacker Oxidation in One Catalytic System: Small Change Makes Big Step

A regioselectivity switchable aerobic Wacker-Tsuji oxidation has been developed using catalytic tert-butyl nitrite as a simple organic redox cocatalyst. By solely switching the solvent, either substituted aldehydes or ketones could be prepared under mild

Hypervalent Iodine as a Terminal Oxidant in Wacker-Type Oxidation of Terminal Olefins to Methyl Ketones

A mimic of the Wacker process for C=O bond formation in terminal olefins can be initiated by a combination of the Pd(II) and hypervalent iodine reagent, Dess-Martin periodinane to generate methyl ketones. This operationally simple and scalable method offers Markovnikov selectivity, has good functional group compatibility, and is mild and high yielding.

Iron(III) sulfate as terminal oxidant in the synthesis of methyl ketones via wacker oxidation

An efficient and environmentally benign method using Fe(III) sulfate as a terminal oxidant in the synthesis of methyl ketones from terminal olefins via the Wacker process is developed. The methodology offers high selectivity for a Markonikov product, shows good functional group compatibility, involves mild reaction conditions, and is operationally simple. Fe2(SO 4)3 is the sole terminal oxidant in this process. The method holds potential for future applications in organic synthesis.
