Diastereoselective peroxidation of derivatives of Baylis–Hillman adducts

Cyclic derivatives of Baylis–Hillman adducts were synthesized. Cobalt-catalyzed peroxidation of these cyclic lactones afforded silyl peroxides in diastereomeric ratios ranging from 91:9 to 97:3.

Hydroxy-methyl-hexanones as flavoring agents

The present invention relates to new alpha -hydroxyketone compositions. In particular, there is provided 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-hexan-2-one, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-hexan-3-one and mixtures thereof. These compounds have utility as flavoring and masking agents for, e.g., food and beverages. Processes for making such compounds also are provided.
