Abstract

Transition metal-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of carbon− carbon multiple bonds has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis. High-valent oxometals, mostly of Ru, Os, Mn, Mo, W, and Re, were used catalytically as reactive oxygen transfer agents to the multiple bonds. Reported here for the first time are the organocatalytic versions of the oxidative cleavage reactions. Our method involves use of iodomesitylene as an effective ...
