conditions. In fact, only a-cleavage was found to occur in the case of an
a,b-dihydroxy ketones.
As described above, secondary 1,2-diols did not react at all under the re-
action conditions. However, tertiary 1,2-diols reacted with O 2 in the presence
of a catalytic amount of VOCl 3 , resulting in carbon-carbon bond cleavage
and ecient production of the corresponding ketones (Scheme 6.35). 37
