Oxalyl Chloride: A Versatile Reagent in Organic Synthesis
Publication History
Publication Date:
13 April 2007 (online)
Introduction
Oxalyl chloride is a very versatile reagent extensively used by organic chemists. One of its most common uses is in oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones named Swern oxidation. [1-5] However, this reagent can efficiently be applied in many other reactions such as 1,1-cycloadditions with 1,4-dilithio-1,3-dienes or zirconacyclopentadienes, [6] cyclization of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy) alk-1-enes to isoeletronic acids, [7] preparation of phenyl isocyanates from anilines, [8] bicyclization of biaryl acetamides, [9] dehydration of formamides to afford nitriles, [10] and cyclization of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilyloxy) ketene acetals to give 3-hydroxymaleic anhydrides.
