Oxidative Cleavage of α-Aryl Aldehydes Using Iodosylbenzene
摘要:
We found that a-aryl aldehydes can be cleaved to chain-shortened carbonyl compounds and formaldehyde by various iodosylbenzene complexes. A mechanistic scheme is presented that accounts for the loss of one carbon atom. Formaldehyde is further oxidized to CO and CO2 under the reaction conditions.
