Abstract

The cleavage of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes 1 giving rise to ketones 2 is summarized in Table [1] . Treatment of 1 in an aqueous medium resulted in formation of the expected methyl ketones 2 in satisfactory yields. The oxidation could be performed under very mild conditions without any special techniques. When a buffer solution was added, the acid-labile functional groups such as epoxide, TBS and THP were tolerated under the reaction conditions. Compounds ...
