Abstract

A highly efficient and practical Pd(II)/Cu(OAc)2 catalyzed Saegusa oxidation converts enol ethers to the corresponding enals at extremely low catalyst loadings under ligand-free and aqueous conditions. Its synthetic utility was demonstrated with a number of diverse substrates and large-scale applications.
