Selenium and copper synergistically catalyzed the oxidation/alkoxylation of methyl ketones to synthesize α-keto acetals directly. Using O2 as oxidant and alcohol as solvent and alkoxylation reagent, the reaction is practical from industrial viewpoint. Mechanistic studies revealed that copper promoted the oxidation of organoselenium intermediates with O2 to allow the key rearrangement and selenoxide syn-elimination regenerating the catalytically active organoselenium species.

The treatment of acetophenone with alkyl nitrites in the presence of the corresponding aliphatic alcohols and hydrochloric acid leads to the formation of phenylglyoxal acetals.The structures of the products were established by IR, UV, NMR, and mass spectroscopy.
