Synthetic utility of iodic acid in the oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aromatic aldehydes and ketones

Various primary and secondary benzylic alcohols were efficiently oxidized to aromatic aldehydes and aromatic ketones with iodic acid in DMF at 60?°C for 2?h and with iodic acid in the presence of TEMPO (5?mol?%) in DMF at room temperature, respectively. The former method was effective for the oxidation of sterically hindered alcohols at 60?°C and the latter method was effective for the oxidation of less sterically hindered alcohols at room temperature.

Aroyl Anion Trapping Reactions. A Preliminary Study of Direct Nucleophilic Aroylation by Means of Low Temperature, in situ (CH3)nC6H5 nLi/CO Systems.

Results of studies of the in situ nucleophilic aroylation of PhCO2Me, Me3CCO2Me and Ph2CO by several low temperature ArLi/CO systems (Ar = C6H5, p-CH3C6H4, o-CH3C6H4, 2,6-(CH3)2C6H3 and 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2) are reported.The experiments with C6H5Li were unsuccessfull and the best results were obtained with 2,6-(CH3)2-C6H3Li.

Acylierung von Aromaten mit Carbonsaeure-dihalogenphosphorsaeure-anhydriden

Aryl ketones 4, 9 are formed in good yields without the addition of Friedel-Crafts catalysts from activated arenes (e. g. alkylbenzenes, anisole) and aryl- and alkylcarboxylic dihalophosphoric anhydrides 1, 2, and 7, 8, respectively.The anhydrides 7, 8 may be prepared in situ by mixing the respective carboxylic and dihalophosphoric anhydrides.This procedure is especially advantageous in care of the less stable compounds.
