Oxidation of various aryl-conjugated olefins with cobalt(III) acetate in wet acetic acid under nitrogen affords the glycol monoacetates in moderate to good yields.None of the phenyl rearrangement product is formed in the present reactions.These results are best interpreted by assuming the formation of a Co-co-ordinated intermediate.

Racemic 1-acetoxy-2-phenylpropane (12) and 1-acetoxy-2-(2- naphthyl)propane (33) were hydrolyzed with lipase at 35-36°C for 2 and 24 h to give predominantly (S)-2-phenyl-1-propanol (11) and (S)-2-(2-naphthyl)-1- propanol (32), respectively. However, racemic 1-acetoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propane (25) was recovered intact even when the reaction was carried out for 240 h. On the other hand, the enantioselectivities towards racemic 2-phenyl (16), 2- (p-tolyl) (20), 2-(1-naphthyl) (28), and 2-(2-naphthyl) (36) derivatives of 1-acetoxy-2-propanol were very low.
