A metal-free and 4-methyl aniline mediated method for the oxidative C-C bond cleavage has been developed. The reaction proceeds in air using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, affording one-carbon shortened esters in moderate to good yields within a short time. Moreover, it provides a model reaction for the highly enantioselective synthesis of (d)-serine esters by combining with a l-proline catalyzed Mannich reaction.

Different α- and β-substituted aldehydes have been submitted to the catalytic action of almond oxynitrilase (PaHNL), in order to explore the influence of a stereocenter already present in the substrate on the selectivity of this enzyme. The results indicate that naphthyl and alkoxy substituents in the α- and also in the β-position to the aldehyde group significantly influence the stereochemical outcome of the PaHNL-catalyzed transformation.
