Ru(III)-catalyzed oxidation of homopropargyl alcohols in ionic liquid: an efficient and green route to 1,2-allenic ketones
摘要:
An efficient and environmentally benign synthesis of 1,2-allenic ketones via RuCl(3)-catalyzed oxidation of homopropargyl alcohols in ionic liquid with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant was reported for the first time. With its reasonable efficiency and green nature, this oxidation provides a novel alternative route to 1,2-allenic ketones. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
