Reduction of Unsymmetrical Benzils Using Sodium Dithionite

Contrary to a previous report, reduction of unsymmetrical benzils by sodium dithionite (sodium hydrosulfite) in general yields a mixture of isomeric benzoins.Whereas the reduction of aldehydes and ketones by dithionite apparently takes place by a nucleophilic addition mechanism, the reduction of benzils proceeds by an electron-transfer mechanism.The initial product of the reduction is the (Z)-α,α'-stilbenediol which is produced stereospecifically.The ultimate benzoin products, then, result from the two different modes of ketolization of the stilbenediol intermediate.

In this study, hydroxy benzoin (1-7), benzil (8-14), and benzoin/benzil-O-β-D-glucosides (15-25) were synthesized to investigate their biological activities. An efficient method for synthesizing hydroxy benzoin compounds (1-7) was prepared from four diffe

A simple protocol for the synthesis of α-diarylacetic esters from benzoins is described. In situ generated acetal assists rapid 1,2-aryl migration in a stereospecific manner, paving the way to make enantioenriched α-diarylacetic esters from easily accessi

, (2008/06/13)
A photoactive compound that is the reaction product of an alkenyl azlactone compound and a nucleophilic aromatic ketone is described. Mer units derived from this compound can be used, for example, to crosslink via a hydrogen abstracting mechanism acrylic polymers in which they are incorporated.
