A Synthesis of Diphenylmethyl Ketones
Bunce, Richard A.,Dowdy, Eric D.
, p. 3007 - 3014 (2007/10/02)
The anion derived from diphenylmethane (2 eq.) reacts with carboxylic esters and anhydrides (1 eq.) to form diphenylmethyl ketones in 55-75percent purified yields.The procedure is one-step and permits the introduction of functionality incompatible with conditions used in earlier syntheses.
Synthesis of 2,2-Diphenyl-3-oxetanol Derivatives and Their Thermal or Acid-catalyzed Decomposition
Shimizu, Nobujiro,Yamaoka, Shintaro,Tsuno, Yuho
, p. 3853 - 3854 (2007/10/02)
A series of five different 2,2-diphenyl-3-oxetanols was synthesized by photocycloadditiion of benzophenone and enol trimethylsilyl ethers followed by protolysis of the resultant 3-trimethylsiloxyoxetanes.Thermal cleavage and acid-catalyzed rearrangement of these oxetanes are described.
