Abstract

Quaternary ammonium iodide, a metal-free and mild catalyst, was proven to be a successful catalyst in the oxidative cleavage of 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives with H 2 O 2 as terminal oxidant. The mechanistic aspects of these multistep catalytic oxidations were discussed in terms of the catalytic cycle of the iodine species and the oxidative cleavage of the α carbon from the dicarbonyl compounds to generate the corresponding carboxylic acids.
