Abstract

Various hydrazone derivatives of α-keto esters were prepared. The carbonyl group was readily regenerated in high yield from phenylhydrazones through oxidative hydrolysis using hypervalent organoiodine (III) reagents—either bis (trifluoroacetoxy)-iodobenzene (BTIB) in aqueous acetonitrile or hydroxy (tosyloxy) iodobenzene (HTIB) in chloroform. α-Acetoxy phenyl-or methylazo compounds were readily synthesized by oxidation of the ...
