Highly Regioselective Rearrangement of 2,3-Diaryloxiranes into 2,2-Diarylacetaldehydes Catalyzed by Ytterbium Porphyrin Complex, Yb(TPP)OTf
摘要:
[5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphynato]ytterbium(III) triflate, Yb(TPP)-OTf, is an efficient Lewis acid catalyst for the highly regioselective rearrangement of 2,3-diaryloxiranes into 2,2-diarylacetaldehydes. The catalytic process can be easily performed not only in dichloroethane but also in a more environmentally friendly solvent, benzotrifluoride.
