CaCl2- or MgCl2 -Catalyzed Allylic Oxidations of Ionone-like Dienes
Publication History
Publication Date:
22 September 2006 (online)
Abstract
The allylic oxidation of ionone-like dienes catalyzed by CaCl2 or MgCl2 with TBHP is presented. The method provides a facile method to synthesize dienones derived from ionone-like dienes in good to moderate yields. A plausible mechanism for the oxidation is proposed.
Key words
allylic oxidation - ionone-like dienes - calcium chloride - magnesium chloride - tert-butyl hydroperoxide

References and Notes
Allylic Oxidation of Ionone-Like Dienes; Typical Procedure: To a mixture of ionone-like diene 1 (1 mmol) and CaCl2 or MgCl2·6H2O (0.2 mmol) in MeCN (6 mL) was addded aq TBHP (70%, 3-5 mmol) in one or two portions under vigorous stirring at 60 °C for 1-5 h. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue (0.5 mL), which was purified by column chromatog-raphy on silica gel (PE-EtOAc, 3:1) to give dienone 2 and small amounts of 5,6-β-epoxides. Alternatively, the product could be isolated by distillation under reduced pressure, particularly when the reaction was performed on >5 mmol scale. Analytical data for compounds 2a, 2b, 2d, and 2e is consistent with those previously reported.
