Manganese(III)-based oxidative freeradical reaction of α-allyl-β-keto ester with molecular oxygen

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)61371-0

Oxidative reactions of α-allyl-β-keto esters 5 with Mn(OAc)₃·2H₂O give the δ-hydroxy-β-,γ-unsaturated-α-keto esters 6 in good yields. The mechanism of this reaction is discussed.
