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.

Synthesis of novel substituted diaryl-1,4-diazepines

In this paper a convenient route to new 2,3-diaryl-substituted 1,4-diazepines is described through cyclization of ethanedione derivatives and 1,3-propanediamine. The ethanedione derivatives required were synthesized by microwave-assisted oxidation from ethanones.

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.

CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF UNSYMMETRICALLY SUBSTITUTED BENZILS BY PERMANGANATE OXIDATION OF β-OXO PHOSPHORUS YLIDES

Oxidative cleavage of a range of ylides 4 with R1 and/or R2 being aromatic groups, using KMnO4 in a two-phase system, affords unsymmetrical benzils and 1-arylpropane-1,2-diones 5 in moderate to good yield, and the ylide formation and oxidation can be combined in a convenient one-pot method.Key words: Phosphorus ylides, oxidation, 1,2-diketones, benzils, permanganate, oxoalkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes.
