One-pot, oxidative and selective conversion of benzylic silyl and tetrahydropyranyl ethers to gem-dichlorides using trichloroisocyanuric acid and triphenylphosphine as an efficient and neutral system

A one-pot and oxidative method is described for the first time for the conversion of benzylic trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers to gem-dichlorides using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and triphenylphosphine (PPh3) in neutral media. Various theses substrates containing electron withdrawing or donating groups can be efficiently converted to their corresponding gem-dichlorides in good to excellent yields. The present method shows a high degree of chemoselectivity, and due to its one-pot nature is in accordance with green chemistry.

A simple and efficient procedure for the preparation of benzal chlorides and benzal bromides

Benzal chlorides and benzal bromides were conveniently synthesized by reaction of aryl aldehydes with a Vilsmeier type reagent formed in situ by reduction of CCl4 or CBr4 in dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent.
