An efficient three-step synthetic route to α-ketoaldehydes starting from aryl aldehydes is reported. The aldehydes were treated with iPrMgCl and iodoform to obtain β-diiodoalcohols, which were then oxidized with o-iodoxybenzoic acid at room temperature to the corresponding β-diiodoketones. Subsequent reaction of the β-diiodoketone to the α-ketoaldehyde occurred under oxygen transfer from dimethyl sulfoxide. These sensitive products were in situ cyclized with o-phenylenediamine to form the stable monosubstituted quinoxalines, which could be characterized and isolated easily. α-Ketoaldehydes are a versatile, highly reactive moiety for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. We investigated the transformation of aldehydes into α-ketoaldehydes via β-diiodoketone intermediates and finally applied the procedure to the synthesis of peptidic substrates. Copyright
