We report a Brønsted acid mediated direct α-hydroxylation of cyclic α-branched ketones via a tandem aminoxylation/N–O bond-cleavage process. Nitrosobenzene is used as the oxidant and subsequently promotes the liberation of the free alcohol. The desired products could be isolated in moderate to good yields at a maximum tested scale of 10 mmol. Derivatizations of the obtained products are presented.

A novel gold(I)/Brønsted acid sequential catalyzed/promoted procedure to synthesize 1-alkyl-3-(2-oxo-2-aryl/alkyl-ethyl)indolin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions is developed. This methodology is realized by relay actions of gold and a Brønsted acid in a one-pot multistep manner. The gold(I)-catalyzed chemoselective C(sp2)-H functionalization of enaminones and Brønsted acid promoted cleavage of the C=C bond are integrated effectively. Based on the results of control experiments and ESI-MS analysis, a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.

A new rapid approach to structurally challenging and biologically relevant methanobenzodioxepines was developed via a Brønsted acid-triggered domino transformation of 3-carbonyl-4,5-dihydrofurans, substituted with MOM-protected o-hydroxyaryls at the C4 atom.

A Brønsted acid mediated N–O bond cleavage for α-amination of ketones has been developed through the nitroso aldol reaction of less-reactive aromatic nitroso compounds and silyl enol ethers having a disilane (–SiMe2TMS) backbone.

A method for the Brønsted acid promoted desulfination of aryl sulfoxides is presented. In the presence of a thiol, electron-rich sulfoxides undergo C–S bond cleavage to give the corresponding protodesulfinated arenes and disulfides.
