	abstract = {<p>A high-yielding synthesis of -acyloxyketones using a N-heterocyclic-carbene (NHC)-catalyzed, oxidative ring-opening of epoxides with aromatic aldehydes is described. This regioselective, oxidative process utilizes a N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)/DMSO combination as the oxidant system and Et3N as the base under mild reaction conditions.</p>},
