Benzoins 4 (2-hydroxyethanones substituted with aryl groups at the 1- and 2-positions) were prepared by self-condensation of aromatic aldehydes 3 using catalytic amounts of azolium salts 1 and 2 in excellent yields.1, 3-Dimethylbenzimidazolium iodide (2) was an effective catalyst for the preparation of acyloins 6 (2-hydroxyethanones substituted with alkyl groups at the 1- and 2-positions) by self-condensation of aliphatic aldehydes 5. On the other hand, an attempt at the condensation of hexanal (5d) catalyzed by 1, 3-dimethylimidazolium iodide (1) failed to yield the acyloin 6d, and instead the aldol-type condensed product 8d was obtained.
苯偶姻 4(在 1- 和 2-位置上带有芳基取代的 2-羟基乙酮)通过使用少量的唑盐 1 和 2 作为催化剂,由芳香醛 3 的自缩合反应高效制备得到。1,3-二甲基苯并咪唑碘盐(2)是制备乙偶姻 6(在 1- 和 2-位置上带有烷基取代的 2-羟基乙酮)的有效催化剂,通过脂肪醛 5 的自缩合反应实现。另一方面,使用 1,3-二甲基咪唑碘盐(1)催化己醛(5d)的缩合反应未能得到乙偶姻 6d,而是得到了醛醇型缩合产物 8d。
