Palladium-catalyzed saegusa-ito oxidation: Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds from trimethylsilyl enol ethers

摘要

Palladium-catalyzed Saegusa-Ito oxidation of trimethylsilyl enol ethers is possible using Oxone as a stoichiometric oxidant and sodium hydrogen phosphate as a buffer. Cyclic and acyclic enones as well as α,β-unsaturated aldehydes are obtained in good to excellent yields.
