The syntheses of primin, 2-methoxy-6-pentylbenzoquinone (1), a major allergen of Primula obconica, and its water-soluble acid analog primin acid (2) are reported. The key steps were ortho-lithiation reactions of protected hydroquinones, palladium coupling (Heck) reactions, and salcomine-catalyzed oxidations of phenols to quinones.
The Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Selenium Compounds
Syper, Ludwik
, p. 167 - 172 (2007/10/02)
A series of organoselenium compounds was investigated as activators of hydrogen peroxide in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.As a result, a convenient and cheap method for transformation of aromatic aldehydes, having polycondensed ring systems or electron-donating substituents, and polymethoxy derivatives of acetophenone, into phenols was elaborated.This method utilizes hydrogen peroxide activated by areneseleninic acids, as oxidizing agent.
