α-Hydroxylation on Ketones Using o-Iodosylbenzoic Acid
Moriarty, Robert M.,Hou, Kwang-Chung

o-Iodosylbenzoic acid (KOH/CH3OH) converts various ketones to α-hydroxydimethylacetals in high yield with the advantageous feature of solubility of the reduction product o-iodobenzoic acid under the basic reaction conditions thus allowing isolation of the oxidation product by simple CH2Cl2 extraction.
Indirect electrochemical oxidation of cyclic ketones: Strong influence of ring size on the result of the reaction

The result of the indirect electrochemical oxidation of cyclic ketones in methanol in the undivided cell in the presence of sodium iodide depends on the ring size. Cyclopentanone affords 2,2-dimethoxycyclopentanone. While cyclohexanone gives rise 2,2-dimethoxycyclo-hexanol, and cyclic ketones with higher ring size undergo new type of the electrochemically induced Favorskii rearrangement with the formation of methyl cycloalkencarboxylates containing in the ring on the one carbon atom less than starting ketone. So the simple electrocatalytic system can distinguish the ring size of cyclic ketones.
