title: Tandem oxidation/rearrangement of beta-ketoesters to tartronic esters with molecular oxygen catalyzed by calcium iodide under visible light irradiation with fluorescent lamp.
abstract: It was found that beta-ketoesters were directly transformed to the corresponding alpha-hydroxymalonic esters, tartronic esters, with molecular oxygen catalyzed by calcium iodide under visible light irradiation from fluorescent lamp. This reaction includes tandem oxidation/rearrangement and has received much attention from the viewpoint of reduction of energy consumption, labor, and solvents.
