Functional Group Transformations of Diols, Cyclic Ethers, and Lactones Using Aqueous Hydrobromic Acid and Phase Transfer Catalyst under Microwave Irradiation
文摘
Synthesis of bromoalkanols has been achieved from diols,ethers, and lactones using aq HBr (48%) and tetrabutylammonium iodide/bromide as phase transfer catalyst undermicrowave irradiation. This environmentally benign routeprovides enhanced yields of products and does away with theuse of benzene as compared to existing conventional methods.
