Synthesis of 2-alkyl (and aryl)-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones via m-CPBA mediated oxidation of γ-(benzotriazol-1-yl)allylic selenides

Treatment of 2-alkyl (and aryl)-3-aryl-3-(benzotriazol-1-yl)allylic selenides with m-CPBA (1 equiv.) for 10 min in CH2Cl2 at rt gave 2-alkyl (and aryl)-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones in excellent yields.

Trifluoromethanesulfonic (Triflic) Acid Catalyzed Transformations of α-Hydroxy Carbonyl Compounds

Triflic acid catalyzed reaction of 2-hydroxy-2-adamantanecarboxylic acid results via ionizative decarbonylation in the formation of adamantanone.Under carbon monoxide pressure pinacol-type rearrangement gives 4,5-homoadamantanedione.Reactions of a series of α-hydroxy ketones result in fragmentation, deprotonation, and cyclization, respectively.The reactions and their suggested mechanism are discussed.
