Abstract

Oxidation of various acetophenone derivatives with PhI- ( OAc)2/KOH-MeOH yields the corresponding a-hydroxy- dimethyl acetal.1 In this transformation -0Me plays the role of an external nucleophile. We now show that an o-hydroxy group in various substi- ... 0 'OMe /I 'OMc (A) - -C-CH2 ... (1) (2) (2a) R3 = OMe (tb) R3 = Me (23 R3 = OMe ...
