REMOTE OXIDATION OF KETONES TO γ- AND δ-DIKETONES

A single stage remote oxidation of ketones to γ- and δ-diketones has been carried out in a sodium peroxysulfate-iron(II) sulfate system.

REGIOSELECTIVE HYDRATION OF ALKYNONES BY PALLADIUM CATALYSIS

Diketones are regioselectively prepared from alkynyl ketones under mild conditions by palladium catalysis; 5-heptyn-2-one and 2-(2-nonynyl)cyclohexanone give 1,4-diketones whereas 2-(2-heptynyl)cyclopentanone and 5,6-didehydroprostaglandin E2 methyl ester afford 1,5-diketones.

THE PREPARATION OF 1,4-DICARBONYL COMPOUNDS BY PHOTOREACTION OF KETONES IN THE PRESENCE OF OXIDANTS

Phenyl alkyl ketones were photo-irradiated in the presence of Cr(VI) or Mn(VII) oxidants to yield 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds regiospecifically while 2-octanone gave a regioisomeric mixture of 2,5-, 2,6-, and 2,7-octadiones.
