Abstract

The Tsuji–Wacker oxidation provides access to methyl ketones from terminal olefins and is commonly utilized in complex molecule synthesis.[1] However, this reaction is under substrate control, which can lead to a mixture of aldehyde and ketone products, especially when the alkene bears a proximal heteroatom.[2, 3] An excellent example of exploiting this was recently reported by Feringa and co-workers wherein allylic phthalimides provided ...
