The Bu4NI-catalyzed alfa-acyloxylation of ketones with benzylic alcohols

Abstract

The Bu4NI-catalyzed reaction of ketones with benzylic alcohols was achieved, leading to alfa-acyloxycarbonyl compounds in moderate to good yields. This metal-free procedure featured the employment of facilely and commercially available starting materials and TBHP as a clean oxidant with high atom economy.
