Abstract
Mn-salen complex 1 was found to catalyze highly enantioselective oxidation of enol ethers with iodosylbenzene as a terminal oxidant giving the corresponding hydroxy acetals, when the reaction was carried out in an alcoholic solvent. The reactions in the usual solvents such as dichloromethane and acetonitrile showed irregular and lower enantioselectivity, partly due to racemization of the resulting α-hydroxy ketones.
