A novel reaction of alpha-iodo ketone (alpha-iodocycloalkanone, alpha-iodo-beta-alkoxy ester, and alpha-iodoacyclicketone) with irradiation under a high-pressure mercury lamp gave the corresponding alpha-hydroxyketone in good yields. In the case of alpha,alpha'-diiodo ketone, alpha,alpha'-dihydroxyketone which little has been reported until now was obtained. This reaction affords a new, clean and convenient synthetic method for alpha-hydroxy- and alpha,alpha'-dihydroxyketone. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
