Formation of 1,4-diketones by aerobic oxidative C-C coupling of styrene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

(Chemical equation presented). Convenient and direct: 1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are readily obtained through a one-pot cerium-catalyzed oxidative C-C coupling in the presence of oxygen and subsequent fragmentation. The products are suitable precursors for

Cerium-catalyzed, aerobic oxidative synthesis of 1,2-dioxane derivatives from styrene and their fragmentation into 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds

1,4-Diketones were prepared by cerium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of styrene with molecular oxygen and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This two-step sequence was performed as a one-pot procedure without isolation of the intermediate products. The first step is
