Cas: 579-43-1 | Mecozzi, Francesco et al. made new progress in 2017

Desymmetrization of rel-(1R,2S)-1,2-Diphenylethane-1,2-diol(cas:579-43-1 Recommanded Product: 579-43-1) using chiral phosphine catalyst has been reported. Conversion of meso-hydrobenzoin to trans-stillbene oxide by treatment with an aryl sulfonyl chloride and aqueous sodium hydroxide has been reported.

Recommanded Product: 579-43-1In 2017, Mecozzi, Francesco;Dong, Jia Jia;Saisaha, Pattama;Browne, Wesley R. published 《Oxidation of Vicinal Diols to α-Hydroxy Ketones with H2O2 and a Simple Manganese Catalyst》. 《European Journal of Organic Chemistry》published the findings. The article contains the following contents:

α-Hydroxy ketones are valuable synthons in organic chem. Here we show that oxidation of vic-diols to α-hydroxy ketones with H2O2 can be achieved with an in situ prepared catalyst based on manganese salts and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid. Furthermore the same catalyst is effective in alkene epoxidation, and it is shown that alkene oxidation with the MnII catalyst and H2O2 followed by Lewis acid ring opening of the epoxide and subsequent oxidation of the alkene to α-hydroxy ketones can be achieved under mild (ambient) conditions. To complete the study, the researchers used rel-(1R,2S)-1,2-Diphenylethane-1,2-diol (cas: 579-43-1) .
