—— | 1,2-Diphenyl-3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol | 53546-25-1 | C17H18O | 238.329 |
The generation of a number of 1,2-diarylcyclopropane-1,2-diols is reported. Reaction of these in situ with acid gives, primarily, an α,β-unsaturated ketone in which the aryl substituent attached to the double bond is that which is best able to stabilize a benzylic cation. It is proposed that the reaction proceeds by O-protonation of the cyclopropane-1,2-diol, followed by loss of water and opening of the resulting cyclopropyl cation and final deprotonation. Such initial O-protonation contrasts with the C-protonation normally observed in the acidolysis of cyclopropanols and other dialkyl- and alkylaryl-cyclopropane-1,2-diols.
