A sustainable byproduct catalyzed domino strategy: facile synthesis of α-formyloxy and acetoxy ketones via iodination/nucleophilic substitution/hydrolyzation/oxidation sequences

Abstract

The sustainable byproduct catalyzed domino strategy has been performed for the facile synthesis of α-formyloxy and acetoxy ketones via iodination/nucleophilic substitution/hydrolyzation/oxidation sequences from simple and readily available aromatic ketones/unsaturated methyl ketones.
