Abstract:
A simple and effective (bis-(trifluoroacetoxy)-iodo) benzene (PIFA) and organoselenium comediated aerobic oxidative reaction of 3-(2-(ethynyl)-aryl) quinazolinones for the synthesis of 1-(2-(4-oxoquinazolin-3-(4H)-yl) phenyl)-2-phenylethane-1,2-diones has been developed. The regioselective reaction proceeds smoothly under metal-free and catalyst-free conditions and provides 1,2-diketones with high chemoselectivity. The wide substrate scope can be applied by experimental studies to afford 1,2-diketones in good yields. A possible pathway for this transformation is proposed on the basis of the preliminary mechanistic investigation, which indicated a radical process.

o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...
02:34Preparation of Alkynes: Dehydrohalogenation
Alkynes can be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of vicinal or geminal dihalides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds with the loss of two equivalents of hydrogen halide (HX) via two successive E2 elimination reactions.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...

Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
