, p. 548 - 552 (2014/01/23)
A transition-metal-free Cs2CO3-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds with O2 as the oxygen source is described. This reaction provides an efficient approach to tertiary α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds, which are highly valued chemicals and widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The simple conditions and the use of molecular oxygen as both the oxidant and the oxygen source make this protocol very environmentally friendly and practical. This transformation is highly efficient and highly selective for tertiary C(sp3)-H bond cleavage. OH, so simple! A transition-metal-free Cs2CO 3-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds with O 2 provided a variety of tertiary α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds (see scheme; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide), which are widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The simple conditions and the use of molecular oxygen as both the oxidant and the oxygen source make this protocol very efficient and practical.
Synthesis and resolution of propionic acid derivatives

, (2008/06/13)
A process for the production of disubstituted propionic acid derivatives which are intermediates in the synthesis of α-arylpropionic acids such as naproxen, involves the reaction of a naphthalene derivative such as 2-methoxynaphthalene, with an alkylating agent such as an alkyl pyruvate in the presence of a catalyst, and then dehydrating and hydrogenolising, or directly hydrogenolising, or derivatising and then hydrogenolising the product thereof, to produce the desired compound.
