(Chemical Equation Presented) Photolabile aldehyde-releasing precursors (α-acetoxy ethers) were prepared by reduction of the corresponding esters with DIBAL and quenching the intermediate aluminum hemiacetal with acetic anhydride. These species smoothly released aldehydes upon irradiation with UV light at 350 nm. Using this method, not only simple model aliphatic aldehydes were liberated but also specimens relevant for the flavor and fragrance industry (methional, phenylacetaldehyde, and (R)-citronellal).

The oxidative decarboxylation reactions of arylacetic acids to arylcarbinols were compared for Mn(III) acetate, Ce(IV) ammonium nitrate and a combination reagent of Co(III) acetate-Cu(II) acetate. The reaction with Mn(III) acetate in acetic acid gave the corresponding arylcarbinyl acetate usually in good yield. The reaction was particularly easy when the substrate carried an electron-donating group at the para position of the aromatic ring, or when the acid was secondary or tertiary. In contrast, the product generated with the other reagents was either a mixture containing over- oxidation products or products formed via a different route.
