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

References and Notes
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.
1510% 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.
