A chemoselective C?O bond cleavage of the ester alkyl side-chain of α-acyloxy ketones was realized for the first time by a highly efficient palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis (S/C=6000, the highest catalytic efficiency by far). Furthermore, a kinetic resolution of α-acyloxy ketones was first developed by enantioselective hydrogenolysis with good yields and up to 99 % ee.

An operationally simple one-pot, two-step procedure for the desymmetrization of benzils is herein described. This consists in the chemoselective cross-benzoin reaction of symmetrical benzils with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by the methyl sulfinyl (dimsyl) anion, followed by microwave-assisted oxidation of the resulting benzoylated benzoins with nitrate, avoiding the costly isolation procedure. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents may be accommodated on the aromatic rings of the final unsymmetrical benzil. the Partner Organisations 2014.
