1-(4-甲氧基苯基)-3-苯基丙烷-1,3-二酮 | 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione | 6327-79-3 | C16H14O3 | 254.285 |
The generation of a number of 1,2-diarylcyclopropane-1,2-diols is reported. Reaction of these in situ with acid gives, primarily, an α,β-unsaturated ketone in which the aryl substituent attached to the double bond is that which is best able to stabilize a benzylic cation. It is proposed that the reaction proceeds by O-protonation of the cyclopropane-1,2-diol, followed by loss of water and opening of the resulting cyclopropyl cation and final deprotonation. Such initial O-protonation contrasts with the C-protonation normally observed in the acidolysis of cyclopropanols and other dialkyl- and alkylaryl-cyclopropane-1,2-diols.
