Facile and highly chemoselective synthesis of benzil derivatives via oxidation of stilbenes in an I2-H2O system

A facile and highly chemoselective protocol for the synthesis of benzil derivatives has been developed by oxidation of stilbenes in an I 2-H2O system under air. Notably, the method was applicable to 26 examples and provided up to 98% yield, avoiding the use of acid, metal catalysts and so on.

An efficient and time saving microwave-assisted selenium dioxide oxidation of 1,2-diarylethanones

Selenium dioxide oxidation of 1,2-diarylethanones to corresponding diones by conventional method takes upto 8 hr. The same oxidation under microwave radiations using dimethylsulfoxide as solvent reduces the reaction time considerably (30 to 90 sec). The method reported is efficient and time saving.
