Electrochemical Oxidative Oxydihalogenation of Alkynes for the Synthesis of α,α-Dihaloketones

An electrochemical oxydihalogenation of alkynes has been developed for the first time. Using this sustainable protocol, a variety of α,α-dihaloketones can be prepared with readily available CHCl3, CH2Cl2, ClCH2CH2Cl, and CH2Br2 as the halogen source under electrochemical conditions at room temperature.

Practical approach for preparation of unsymmetric benzils from β-ketoaldehydes

An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of unsymmetric benzils from readily available β-ketoaldehydes has been developed. Various unsymmetric 1,2-diaryldiketones bearing functional groups have been obtained in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. A plausible mechanism was proposed, and α,α-dichloroketone was considered as the key intermediate. The generation of α,α-dichloroketones from β-ketoaldehydes may undergo the following steps: (1) oxidation by sodium hypochlorite, (2) decarboxylation, and (3) chlorination by Cl2 generated from sodium hypochlorite.
