Dithiolane-Directed Tandem Oxidation/1,2-Benzyl Migration of Tetramic Acids under Ambient Conditions. — Succinimide derivatives (II) are efficiently synthe-sized by the new method. Dithiolane moiety of tetramic acids plays a crucial role in the aerobic oxidation. The reaction also proceeds in the presence of molecular oxygen. — (LI, Y.; XU*, X.; XIA, C.; PAN, L.; LIU, Q.; Adv.
