AbstractA simple one-pot transformation of secondary alcohols to alpha-hydroxy ketones using pyridinium dichromate (PDC) in DMF has been developed and substrate scope tested with 25 compounds of hydantoin derivatives. Using this method, we have devised a common dihydroxy intermediate and synthesized four natural products oxoaplysinopsins D, E, F, and G for the first time.
