The catalyst activates the 1,2-diol moiety through the formation of stannylene acetal in addition to enhancing selectivity. Various cyclic and acyclic 1,2-diol substrates have been selectively oxidized affording α-hydroxyketones in good to excellent yields. This method is safe and simple in operation., RSC Advances, 3(42), pp.19247-19250; 2013}, pages = {19247--19250}, title = {An efficient method for selective oxidation of 1,2-diols in water catalyzed by Me2SnCl2}, volume = {3}, year = {2013} }
