1,8-Diphenyl octane-1,8-dione, also known as benzil, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H12O2. It is a white crystalline solid that is formed by the oxidation of benzoin, a compound derived from benzoic acid. Benzil is characterized by its symmetrical structure, with two phenyl groups (C6H5) attached to the ends of an octane chain, and two carbonyl groups (C=O) at the terminal positions. This molecule is widely used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other organic compounds due to its reactive carbonyl groups. It is also employed as a reagent in various chemical reactions, such as the benzil-benzilic acid synthesis, which is a method for preparing α-hydroxy ketones. Benzil is known for its low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 6268-58-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,2,6 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6268-58:
(6*6)+(5*2)+(4*6)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*8)=112
112 % 10 = 2
So 6268-58-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Tandem Oxidative Ring-Opening/Cyclization Reaction in Seconds in Open Atmosphere for the Synthesis of 1-Tetralones in Water-Acetonitrile

Fang, Jingxian,Li, Lesong,Yang, Chu,Chen, Jinping,Deng, Guo-Jun,Gong, Hang

supporting information, (2018/11/23)

A mild and practical tandem oxidative ring-opening/cyclization reaction mediated by Ce4+ for the synthesis of 1-tetralones is presented. This rapid transformation was completed within 30 s and conducted in an open reactor at 0 °C in a water-acetonitrile mixture. Various cyclobutanol derivatives are transformed into desired products in good to high yields, and this reaction can be easily scaled up to the gram scale.

Reactivities of mixed organozinc and mixed organocopper reagents, 2. Selective n-alkyl transfer in tri-n-butylphosphine-catalyzed acylation of n-alkyl phenylzincs; an atom economic synthesis of n-alkyl aryl ketones

Erdik, Ender,Pekel, ?zgen ?mür

experimental part, p. 1501 - 1503 (2009/06/21)

Tri-n-butylphosphine-catalyzed acylation of mixed n-alkyl phenylzincs with aromatic acyl halides in THF is efficient in selective transfer of n-alkyl groups to produce n-alkyl aryl ketones in good yields. This route provides an atom economic organocatalyzed alternative to transition metal-catalyzed acylation of di-n-alkylzincs.

Nucleophilic benzoylation using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion. Oxidative decarboxylation of α-hydroxyacids

Blay, Gonzalo,Fernández, Isabel,Formentin, Pilar,Monje, Belén,Pedro, José R,Ruiz, Rafael

, p. 1075 - 1081 (2007/10/03)

The synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion is reported (Umpolung). The methodology involves alkylation of methyl mandelate, hydrolysis of the ester group and oxidative decarboxylation of the resulting α-hydroxyacids. The last step is carried out in a catalytic aerobic way using a Co(III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde under very mild and advantageous conditions. The procedure is also applied to methyl mandelates substituted on the aromatic ring.

Aromatic vinyl ethers and acetals underwent a novel addition-fragmentation reaction affording olefins and esters in the presence of a Lewis acid. This reaction was applied to intramolecular cyclization reaction, giving five or six membered ring compounds in good yields. Paracotoin, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of shikimic acid, was synthesized using this cyclization reaction as the key step.
