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.

Novel copper-catalyzedaerobic synthesis of aryl nitriles and aldehydes from epoxides via C-C single bond cleavage has been discovered. This reaction provides a practical method toward the synthesis of aryl nitriles and aldehydes, which are versatile intermediates and building blocks in organic synthesis.
