Synthesis of α-acetoxy and formyloxy ketones by thallium(III) promoted α-oxidation

Treatment of ketones with thallium(III) triflate in amide solvents at 60°C for 30 min followed by addition of small amounts of H2O cleanly provided the corresponding α-acyloxy ketones.

A convenient method for the conversion of halides to alcohols

The displacement of halides in unactivated primary bromides and iodides, allylic and benzylic primary and secondary bromides, and primary and secondary α-bromoketones by formate, using triethylammonium formate as the formylating agent, followed by acid or base catalyzed hydrolysis has been found to be an efficient method for the conversion of halides to alcohols.
