Phase-vanishing method applied to condensation reactions using TiCl 4
摘要:
The phase-vanishing (PV) method using perfluorohexanes as the phase screen was applied to the aldol condensation using TiCl4 as the Lewis acid. A special test tube was used, in which an interface between the fluorous and organic layers was stirred, and cyclohexanone was treated with two equivalents of benzaldehyde derivatives under PV conditions to afford corresponding 2,6-dibenzylidencyclohexanone in good yields. The formyl-methylenation of ketones with triethylamine using TiCl4 was also demonstrated by the PV method. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
