An efficient and green method for the α-hydroxylation of substituted ketones has been developed. This method includes the in situ conversion of various ketones into the corresponding silyl enol ethers and their oxidation to the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones. Two protocols have been established leading either to protected α-hydroxy carbonyls or free α-hydroxy ketones. Both procedures are easy to follow and lead to good to high yields for a variety of ketones.
Enantioselective synthesis of α-tertiary hydroxyaldehydes by palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of enolates

Chiral α-tertiary hydroxyaldehydes are very versatile building blocks in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report the first examples of a catalytic asymmetric protocol for the synthesis of such compounds from readily available α-halo or α-hydroxy ketones or enol silyl ethers with excellent yields and enantioselectivity. Its synthetic utility is demonstrated in the short, efficient formal synthesis of (S)-oxybutynin. In this process, the chiral ligand controls the regioselectivity as well as the enantioselectivity.
