Synthesis of unsymmetrical benzil licoagrodione

(Chemical Equation Presented) A synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,2-diarylethane-1,2-dione is reported involving the intramolecular cyclization of anionic benzylic ester of the aryl benzyl ether followed by oxidation employing dioxirane. With the use of microwave irradiation, licoagrodione was prepared from Claisen rearrangement of the corresponding allyl phenyl ether 1,2-diketone readily available from the Lindlar's reduction of the corresponding alkyne derivative. Subsequent removal of protecting groups then furnished the desired product.

FACILE OXIDATION OF o-HYDROXYPHENYL BENZYL KETONES TO UNSYMMETRICAL BENZILS WITH DIMETHYL SULPHOXIDE/POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE

o-Hydroxyphenyl benzyl ketones on treatment with dimethyl sulphoxide and powdered potassium hydroxide have been found to undergo facile oxidation to the corresponding benzils.
