A simple and efficient protocol, which is inexpensive, convenient, clean, and facile, for oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds has been developed using sodium hypochlorite in the presence of β-cyclodextrin with water as solvent. A series of alcohols were oxidized at room temperature in excellent yields.Key words: oxidation, alcohols, sodium hypochlorite, KBr, β-cyclodextrin, biomimetic, water.
The catalyst-free oxidative cleavage of (Z)-triaryl-substituted alkenes bearing pyridyl motif with ambient air under irradiation of blue LED at room temperature has been developed. The reaction was facile and scalable,...
A catalyst-free oxidative [3+2] cycloaddition of phenols and styrenes was developed with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone as the oxidant and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol as the solvent at room temperature. With this method, a broad range of dihydrobenzofurans were efficiently and quickly obtained from readily available phenols and styrenes.
A novel, simple and eco-friendly strategy for the synthesis of thiopyrano[4,3-b]quinolin-1-ones and pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolin-1-ones from 2-alkynylquinoline-3-carbonitriles and sodium sulphide (Na2S·9H2O) under catalyst-free conditions at RT.
