Iodine-promoted oxidative conversion of o-vinyl diaryl ketones into o-acetyl diaryl ketones, synthesis of 1-methyl-4-arylphthalazines as analogues of podophyllotoxin
A new method is described for the metal-free oxidation of o-vinyl diaryl ketones in the presence of molecular iodine or N-iodosuccinimide to give o-acetyl diaryl ketones. This transformation involves the initial formation of an iodohydrin, and the o-carbo
