Preparation of benzene and Its Reactivity toward Carbonyl Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00288a053

The title compound is prepared and used for the direct α-((10-camphorsulfonyl)oxylation) of various ketones and carbonyl compounds with an active methylene group.Its reaction with 2-butanone and 4-methyl-2-pentanone yields predominantly the corresponding 1-sulfonyloxy derivatives.The stereoselectivity of the reaction is studied by using benzoylacetone, ethyl benzoylacetate, and propiophenone.In some reactions 10-camphorsulfonyl peroxide is formed as a byproduct.
