A general and simple synthesis of phenylglyoxylic esters via the oxidation of mandelic esters with ammonium chlorochromate adsorbed on alumina

A general method for preparation of phenylglyoxylic esters by oxidation of mandelic esters with readily available ammonium chlorochromate adsorbed on alumina is described.

Controllable chemoselectivity in the coupling of bromoalkynes with alcohols under visible-light irradiation without additives: Synthesis of propargyl alcohols and α-ketoesters

The chemoselectivity of visible-light-induced coupling reactions of bromoalkynes with alcohols can be controlled by simple changes to the reaction atmosphere (N2 or O2). A N2 atmosphere favours propargyl alcohols via a direct C-C coupling process, whereas an O2 atmosphere results in the generation of α-ketoesters through the oxidative CC/C-O coupling pathway.

I 2 /TBHP-Promoted Approach to α-Keto Esters from Trifluoromethyl β-Diketones and Alcohols via C-C Bond Cleavage

A metal-free oxidative coupling reaction of trifluoromethyl β-diketones with alcohols for the synthesis of α-keto esters in good to excellent yields has been developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that an I 2 /TBHP promoted sequential iodination, C-C bond cleavage, C-O bond formation and oxidation pathway is involved in this reaction.
