Iodine-catalyzed tandem synthesis of terminal acetals and glycol mono esters from olefins

摘要

A new metal-free protocol is described for the synthesis of terminal acetals by tandem oxidative rearrangement of olefins using oxone as an oxidant in the presence of iodine.Moreover, a one-pot procedure for the preparation of glycol mono esters from olefins is also presented for the first time using the same reagent system.
