Abstract

The combination of H3+ n [PMo12− nVnO 40]· aq (HPA-n, n= 3) and dioxygen provides a clean and regioselective reagent for the homolytic cleavage of various representative α- hydroxy ketones (primary to tertiary) and turns out to be as efficient for the catalytic ring opening of chiral natural products.
