Abstract
Some enolizable α-hydroxy ketones are extremely susceptible to oxidation with traces of air in a reaction vessel. Autoxidation can be used in synthesis of oxo acids or diacids and their derivatives. Yet alkaline hydrolysis of the substrate is possible though under strictly air-free conditions.Keywords
