The critical role of double hydrogen bonds was addressed for the aerobic α-hydroxylation of ketones catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), in the absence of either a metal catalyst or phosphine reductant. Experimental and theoretical investigations were performed to study the mechanism. In addition to initiating the reaction by proton abstraction, a more important role of TBD was revealed, that is, to enhance the oxidizing ability of peroxide intermediates, allowing DMSO to be used rather than commonly used phosphine reductants. Further characterizations with nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) confirmed the presence of double hydrogen bonds between TBD and the ketone, and kinetic studies suggested the attack of dioxygen on the TBD-enol adduct to be the rate-determining step. This work should encourage the application of TBD as a catalyst for oxidations.

The invention discloses a cheap and efficient synthesis method of an alpha-hydroxyketone compound. The synthesis method is characterized in that a carbonyl compound undergoes an oxidation hydroxylation reaction at 10-120DEG C under normal pressure with iodine simple substance, N-bromosuccimide, copper bromide, bromine simple substance, hydrogen bromide, N-iodosuccimide or hydrogen iodide as a catalyst, sulfoxide as an oxidant, water or sulfoxide as a hydroxy source and sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethyl formamide, acetonitrile, toluene, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran or H2O as a solvent, and converts into the alpha-hydroxyketone compound in a high selectivity manner. Compared with traditional synthesis methods, the method disclosed in the invention has the advantages of simple operation, high yield, simple conditions, easy purification, small waste discharge amount, simple reaction apparatus, and easy industrial production. The method has wide applicability and can be used for synthesizing various alpha-hydroxyketone compounds.

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.
