Abstract

In this letter, an example of interesting metal-free relay air oxidation of α-hydroxysilanes, promoted by the hydroperoxidated carbonyl compounds derived from the Michael reaction of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and chalcone, is reported. A series of aromatic acylsilanes with TBDPS were obtained in promising isolated yields. In addition, as an extension of the relay oxidation under aerobic conditions, this catalyst-free relay oxidation induced by diketone can be applied to the oxidation of general aromatic alcohols (up to 75% yield).

Key words

catalyst-free - oxidation - silane - ketone - relay chemistry
