A binary hybrid system comprising a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent and BF<sub>3</sub>•OEt<sub>2</sub> Lewis acid was found to be effective for the diastereoselective α-acetoxylation of cyclic ketones. In this hybrid system, BF<sub>3</sub>•OEt<sub>2</sub> Lewis acid allowed the activation of the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent and cyclic ketones for smooth α-acetoxylation reaction, achieving high diastereoselectivity. This hypervalent iodine-mediated α-acetoxylation of the cyclic ketone reaction ...[more]
