Abstract

Hypervalent iodine (λ5) reagents in combination with p-toluenesulfonic acid when reacted with ketones under reflux temperature in acetonitrile gave α-tosyloxy ketones in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction was developed further for both ketones and dicarbonyl compounds using Dess-Martin periodinane reagent in combination with p-toluenesulfonic acid and methanesulfonic acid, to give mono-α-tosyloxy and mono-α-mesyloxy products in very high to excellent yields.

Key words

hypervalent iodine reagents - Dess-Martin periodinane - carbonyl compounds - organosulfonic acids - α-organosulfonyl­oxylation

General Experimental Procedure for α-Organo-sulfonyloxylation
To a stirred suspension of Dess-Martin periodinane (3.5 g, 7.5 mmol) and organosulfonic acid (10 mmol) in MeCN (15 mL) was added the substrate (5 mmol) in one portion and the reaction mixture was refluxed until complete consumption of starting material (monitored by TLC). After completion of reaction MeCN was removed under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was diluted by adding CHCl3 (50 mL) and washed with sat. solutions of NaHCO3 (2 × 30 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhyd Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude α-organosulfonyloxylated product. Pure product was obtained after column chromatography (SiO2, mesh size 60-120, eluent, EtOAc-hexane, 15:85).
