Tsuji-Wacker-Type Oxidation beyond Methyl Ketones: Reacting Unprotected Carbohydrate-Based Terminal Olefins through the "Uemura System" to Hemiketals and ?,?-Unsaturated Diketones.


ABSTRACT: Aerobic Pd(AcO)2/pyridine-catalyzed oxidation of unprotected carbohydrate-based terminal alkenes was studied. In accordance with previous reports, the initial reaction step gave methyl ketones. However, our substrates partially gave subsequent ?,?-water elimination and alcohol oxidation to ?,?-unsaturated 2,5-diketones. Upon increasing the pressure of O2, the reaction was shifted toward formation of ?,?-epoxy-2-ketones. The reactions were stereoselective and gave up to quantitative conversions. However, isolated yields were substantially lower because of the complexity of the product mixtures.
