The a-hydroxy carbonyl moiety is an important structural unit that is widely found in drug molecules,natural products and as a potentially valuable synthetic intermediate in organic and medicinal chemistry.Due to this,there have been many reports of synthetic methodologies for the construction ofα-hydroxy carbonyl compounds.However,in these transformations,few methods have been developed for direct oxidation of olefins approach to a-hydroxy ketones,due to the difficulty in introducing two oxygen atoms concurrently and oxidizing selectively.Mol...
