A simple, efficient, mild, and regioselective method for oxyiodination of carbonyl compounds has been reported by using NH4I as the source of iodine and Oxone as an oxidant. Various carbonyl compounds such as aralkyl ketones, aliphatic ketones (acyclic and cyclic), and β-keto esters proceeded to the respective α-monoiodinated products in moderate to excellent yields. Unsymmetrical aliphatic ketones reacted smoothly yielding a mixture of 1-iodo and 3-iodo ketones with the predominant formation of 1-iodoproduct.

We report the metal-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of a variety of cyclic and acyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds by molecular oxygen. The decisive advantage of this new method is the use of catalytic amounts of the nontoxic cerium salt CeCl3·7H2O in 2-propanol at ambient temperature. Most of the cyclic substrates 4a-4i give high yields of analytically pure products 5a-5i, and the workup procedure is simple filtration through silica gel. The oxidation of acyclic dicarbonyl compounds 4j-4p, however, is accompanied by side reactions and decomposition, reducing the yields of products 5j-5p significantly. A proposed mechanism is in agreement with experimental results, in particular the observed oxygen uptake. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
