✦ Synopsis


Osmium tetroxide/N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide oxidation of silyl enol ethers, derived from ketones with either kinetic or thermodynamic regiochemical control, produces a-ketols in good to excellent yields.

The search for means to introduce hydroxyl functionality adjacent to carbonyl has led to development of some elegant methods, including oxidation of enolates by a molybdenum peroxide
