A new metal-free protocol is described for the synthesis of terminal acetals by tandem oxidative rearrangement of olefins using oxone as an oxidant in the presence of iodine. Moreover, a one-pot procedure for the preparation of glycol mono esters from olefins is also presented for the first time using the same reagent system.
A one-step protocol is described for the synthesis of arylacetaldehydes from aryl aldehydes or diaryl ketones by using the system of DMSO/KOH/zinc. In this transformation, DMSO provides a methine fragment that converts the −CHO structure in aryl aldehydes or the −CO− structure in diaryl ketones to the −CH2CHO structure in arylacetaldehydes via a one-carbon extension. This protocol could also be used

A method of processing a lignocellulosic feedstock includes heating the lignocellulosic feedstock in a solvent mixture comprising an acid and at least 80% by volume of n-butanol to produce a reaction mixture including a butylated lignin. A butylated lignin product wherein at least 85% of the β-O-4 linkages include n-butyl ether groups can be prepared. Cellulose and butylated hemicellulose products can also be obtained.
