Reinvestigation of the synthetic and mechanistic aspects of Mn(III) acetate mediated oxidation of enones
Mn(OAc)3 mediated α′-acetoxylation of α,β-unsaturated enones is reinvestigated from a synthetic and mechanistic point of view and an improved procedure based on the use of acetic acid as a co-solvent is presented. Excellent results were obtained for a variety of structurally diverse and synthetically important enones under the optimized conditions.

Manganese(III) acetate promoted acetoxylation of various α,β-unsaturated cyclopentanones
We describe the results of manganese(III) acetate based regioselective oxidation of various α,β-unsaturated cyclopentanones leading to α′-acetoxy α,β-unsaturated cyclopentanones in good yields. Products due to monophenyl and diphenyl substituted dimerizat
