Under neutral conditions 5-arylidene 1, 3-dimethylbarbituric acid effectively oxidizes allylic and benzylic alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.There is a close relationship between oxidizing ability and electron density on the aromatic ring. The mechanism of this oxidation involves hydride transfer from the alcohol.
在中性条件下,5-芳基亚甲基-
1,3-二甲基巴比妥酸有效地将烯丙基和苯基醇氧化为相应的羰基化合物。氧化能力与芳环上的电子密度之间存在密切关系。这种氧化的机制涉及醇的氢转移。
