Tandem Benzylic Oxidation/Dihydroxylation of α-Vinyl- and α-Alkenylbenzyl Alcohols

A de novo tandem benzylic oxidative dihydroxylation of α-vinyl- and α-alkenylbenzyl alcohols has been developed to give α,β-dihydroxypropiophenones (=2,3-dihydroxy-1-phenylpropan-1-ones) and α,β-dihydroxyalkyl phenones. This method was shown to be substrate-selective and specific for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols.
