An especially mild oxidative procedure for the formation of α-hydroxy ketones from silyl enol ethers uses a catalytic amount of osmium(VIII) oxide, together with 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide monohydrate. The oxidation is carried out in aqueous acetone at −10 to 25°C and is allowed to proceed until all the enol ether has reacted. Subsequent workup affords α-hydroxy ketones in modest to excellent yields. Hydroxylation normally proceeds best at methine or methylene positions, but methyl groups can be oxidized in some circumstances; a notable example of this type of reaction is observed in the hydroxylation of the silyl enol ether 232, which gives 21-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (233) in 73% yield (Scheme 104).[195]
