Conversion of α,β-unsaturated ketones into α-hydroxy ketones using an Mn(III) catalyst, phenylsilane and dioxygen: Acceleration of conjugate hydride reduction by dioxygen

Treatment of a variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones with Mn(dpm)3 (3 mol%)/PhSiH3 (1.3 equiv.)/isopropyl alcohol/O2, followed by reductive work-up with P(OEt)3 resulted in the formation of α-hydroxy-ketones. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
