, p. 92 - 107 (2015/10/19)
A de novo tandem benzylic oxidative dihydroxylation of α-vinyl- and α-alkenylbenzyl alcohols has been developed to give α,β-dihydroxypropiophenones (=2,3-dihydroxy-1-phenylpropan-1-ones) and α,β-dihydroxyalkyl phenones. This method was shown to be substrate-selective and specific for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols.
Baker's Yeast-mediated Transformations of α-Keto Epoxides
Meth-Cohn, Otto,Horak, R. Martinus,Fouche, Gerda
, p. 1517 - 1528 (2007/10/02)
αβ-Epoxy ketones on treatment with baker's yeast yield different types of products depending on their substitution.Small groups such as H or Me attached at the epoxy end protect that end from attack.Thus,1-acyl epoxides with H, methyl or propyl as the 2-e
