Retropinacol/cross-pinacol coupling reactions - A catalytic access to 1,2-unsymmetrical diols

A new concept to access unsymmetrical 1,2-diols with high yields is reported. This new methodology is based on a retropinacol/cross-pinacol coupling process. This transformation is characterized by its operational simplicity and very mild reaction condi tions.

Polymer-mediated pinacol rearrangements

Both poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and poly(pyrrole) mediate a pinacol rearrangement of 1,2-diols. The yields of ketone or aldehyde products are comparable to those observed for treatment with mineral acids or Lewis acids. The advantage of this protocol is a two-phase reaction medium in hydrocarbon solvents that allows facile recovery of the products by simple filtration of the polymer and removal of solvents. Both the polymer and the hydrocarbon solvent may be recovered and used in subsequent reactions. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
