Abstract

Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a powerful single electron oxidant that has significant demonstrated utility in promoting a wide range of useful synthetic transformations.(1) Our interest in CAN as a reagent stemmed from an initial desire to elaborate the synthetic potential of silyl bis-enol ethers, an area we have been actively developing.(2) While the 1,4-diketone adducts derived from silyl bis-enol ether oxidation are of significant value for synthesis, we wished to ...
