The cerium-catalyzed, aerobic coupling of β-oxoesters with enol acetates and dioxygen yields δ-lactones with a 1,4-diketone moiety. In contrast to the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation (BVO), where the higher substituted residue migrates; in the case of this oxid
Synthesis of 1,4-Diketones from β-Oxo Esters and Enol Acetates by Cerium-Catalyzed Oxidative Umpolung Reaction

Cyclic β-oxo esters are converted with enol acetates in a cerium-catalyzed, oxidative Umpolung reaction to furnish 1,4-diketones with up to 95 % yield. Atmospheric oxygen is the oxidant in this process, which can be regarded as ideal from economic and ecological points of view. Further advantages of this new C-C coupling reaction are its operational simplicity and the application of nontoxic and inexpensive CeCl3·7H2O as precatalyst.
