β-Hydroxy-and β-acetoxy-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones were prepared from α-acetoxy aldehydes and ethyl 2-(phenylthio)propionate.Diastereomeric sulfides 8-11 were separated, oxidized, and thermally eliminated, leading to β-acetoxy-exo-methylene lactones 23-25 and to butenolides 26-28, depending on the configuration of the phenylsulfinyl group. β-Hydroxy lactones 19 were prepared by saponification of the β-acetoxy derivatives.
α-Oxygenation of Aldehydes and Cyclic Ketones by Acylation-Rearrangement of Nitrones

The reaction of N-tert-butylnitrones (1a-e) of aldehydes and N-methylnitrones (2 and 3) of cyclic ketones with acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine afforded α-acyloxy imines by rearrangement of N-vinyl-O-acylhydroxylamine intermediates.Hydrolysis of the α-acyloxy imines gave α-acyloxy aldehydes and ketones.The acylation-rearrangement reaction offers a new method for α-oxygenation of carbonyl compounds.
THE RECTION OF ALDEHYDE ENOL SILYL ETHERS WITH LEAD(IV)ACETATE

The treatment of aldehyde enol silyl ethers 1 with lead(IV)acetate (LTA) using methylene chloride as solvent gives rise to the production of α-acetoxy aldehydes 2 and glycolic ester derivatives 3 or enals 5.Structrural variations in 1 are used to explained the divergent trends.When 1 is treated with LTA/KOAc/AcOH, high yields of the corresponding α-acetoxy aldehydes 2 are obtained with the formation of 3 and 5 being subverted.
