Alkyl trimethylsilyl ketene acetals generated from either esters or lactones react with lead(IV) acetate (LTA) or lead(IV) benzoate (LTB) to afford useful yields of the corresponding α-carboyloxy esters and α-carboyloxy lactones.Yields of the reaction products are optimized by use of the appropriate solvent (methylene chloride or benzene) during oxidation.Alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, and tert-butyl are all compatible with the procedure, and lactones containing five-, six-, and seven-membered rings give good yields of oxidation products.
