Mitchell, Reginald H.,Iyer, Vivekanantan S.
, p. 3683 - 3686 (1993)
Symmetrical diaryl 1,2-diketones (α-diketones) are obtained in reasonably good yields when readily accessible 1,1'-oxalylimidazole is treated with two equivalents of an aryl Grignard reagent.
A Direct Access to α-Diones from Oxalyl Chloride
Babudri, Francesco,Fiandanese, Vito,Marchese, Giuseppe,Punzi, Angela
, p. 7305 - 7308 (1995)
Cross-coupling reactions of oxalyl chloride with organocopper reagents, derived from Grignard reagents, cuprous bromide, and lithium bromide, provide a simple and straightforward method for the synthesis of symmetrical α-diones in very good yields.
