Herein, we report a rapid, one-step synthesis of α-ketoacetals via electrophilic etherification of α-alkoxy enolates and monoperoxyacetals. Methyl, primary, and secondary α-ketoacetals were obtained in 44–63% yields from tetrahydropyranyl substrates; using methyl tetrahydropyranyl, alkyl tetrahydropyranyl, or methyl tetrahydrofuranyl peroxyacetals, however, methyl and primary products were isolated in 66–90% yields. The present method is applied to C–O bond formation at tertiary carbons, via alkyl and methyl peroxyacetals, with yields of 25–65%. Intermolecular “alkoxyl” transfer, from peroxyacetal to α-alkoxy enolate, relies heavily on decreased steric bulk surrounding the peroxide bond and site of etherification; additionally, we found the α-OCH3 group to be critical in ensuring product formation. α-Ketoacetals demonstrated excellent reactivity, as selective, nucleophilic attack at the unprotected carbonyl furnished α-hydroxy acetals in 80–100% yields; subsequent hydrolysis of the foregoing compounds provided α-hydroxy aldehydes in yields of 58–90%.

“…Recently, our group reported the catalytic asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of furans with in situ generated o -quinone methides ( o -QMs) in the presence of chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) as a Lewis acid catalyst . Encouraged by these positive outcomes, we envisioned a similar reaction with glyoxals to form optically active α-hydroxyketones.…”

A catalytic enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction of various heteroaromatic compounds with glyoxals has been developed. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst, the reaction provided chiral α-hydroxyketones in high yield (up to 96%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The synthetic utility of this method was illustrated by conversion of the products to various derivatives such as 1,2-diol and β-amino alcohol.
