A facile synthesis of α,α'-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones catalyzed by bis(p-ethoxyphenyl)telluroxide(BMPTO) under microwave irradiation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708005039

The bis(4-methoxyphenyl)telluroxide(BMPTO) catalyzed reaction of cyclopentanone or cyclohexanone with aldehydes brought about the cross-aldol condensation to give the corresponding 2,5-bis(substituted benzylidene)cyclopentanones or 2,6-bis(substituted benzylidene)cyclohexanones in high yield under microwave irradiation in mild conditions. The reaction needs only 5-10 min.
