Abstract

Vanadyl Species-Catalyzed Complementary -Oxidative Carbonylation of Styrene Derivatives with Aldehydes. -The oxidative coupling of styrenes with aldehydes using tBuOOH as the oxidant is studied. In the presence of VO(acac) 2 as the catalyst -hydroxyketones (III) and (V) are isolated whereas VOCl2 as the catalyst produces -peroxy ketones (VIII), (IX), and (XI) in good yields. -(YANG, W.-C.; WENG, S.-S.; RAMASAMY, A.; RAJESHWAREN, G.; LIAO, Y.-Y.; CHEN*, C.-T.; Org.
