Aniline mediated oxidative C-C bond cleavage of α-alkoxy aldehydes in air and a model reaction for the synthesis of α-(d)-amino acid derivatives

A metal-free and 4-methyl aniline mediated method for the oxidative C-C bond cleavage has been developed. The reaction proceeds in air using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, affording one-carbon shortened esters in moderate to good yields within a short time. Moreover, it provides a model reaction for the highly enantioselective synthesis of (d)-serine esters by combining with a l-proline catalyzed Mannich reaction.
