Abstract

Both open-chain and cyclic vicinal-diols are oxidized to the corresponding a-dicarbonyl compound by the oxoammonium salt derived from 4-acetamido-TEMPO and p- toluenesulfonic acid. With certain exceptions, yields are as high or higher than those obtained when Swern reagents are used to effect the same conversions.
