Abstract

We report a Brønsted acid mediated direct α-hydroxylation of cyclic α-branched ketones via a tandem aminoxylation/N–O bond-cleavage process. Nitrosobenzene is used as the oxidant and subsequently promotes the liberation of the free alcohol. The desired products could be isolated in moderate to good yields at a maximum tested scale of 10 mmol. Derivatizations of the obtained products are presented.
