An oxygen-insertion reaction that transforms an o-quinone and a conjugated α-diketone substrate into an anhydride product or derivative under catalytic hydrogenation conditions is reported. The experiments and computations indicate that the oxygen insertion proceeds via a radical mechanism mediated by an acetoxyl radical.
