Copper(II) bromide mediated oxidation of acylated enol and use of the reaction in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes are disclosed. The method provides an efficient and practical process for manufacturing dehydrohedione (DHH) and many other versatile α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes in large scales to avoid using precious metal compounds.

A protocol for effecting a rapid Saegusa-type oxidation of enol acetates is reported. This new method relies on the in situ elimination of an α-bromo intermediate to generate α,β-unsaturated ketones using copper(II) bromide. The methodology developed was applied to a range of substrates including a cyclohexanone, which could be directly converted to the corresponding phenol derivative. A catalytic system in which a non-masked ketone was successfully oxidised using substoichiometric CuBr2 was also developed as a proof of principle.
