Abstract
A hydroxyl group was readily and directly introduced into the α-position
of a variety of β-dicarbonyl compounds by heterogeneous
Pd/C-catalyzed oxygenation using molecular oxygen.
Key words
heterogeneous catalysis - palladium - oxygenation - oxygen - ketones

14 Norit SX PLUS, an acid-washed, steam-activated
carbon, was used without further purification. See the Norit homepage
on the web (http://www.norit-americas.com/norit-sxplus.html).
The reason why a 12% conversion was attained is not clear.
A very small amount of residual metal might have caused the reaction,
or the charcoal itself might have been activated that the reaction
took place.
15 10% Pd/C could be
simply recovered and reused for at least five cycles with more than
a 90% yield of 2 after the 5th
run, although the catalytic activity was gradually diminished.
