Abstract
A practical and green methodology has been developed for the direct synthesis of arylated 1,2-diketones from aldehydes utilizing 4 mol% of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) organocatalysts and activated carbon. The design of this method is a one-pot, two-step sequence: NHC-catalyzed benzoin condensation followed by aerobic oxidation in the presence of activated carbon (AC) and molecular O2, offering good to high yields, tolerating various functional groups. This method demonstrates a sustainable and eco-friendly protocol for efficiently synthesizing benzil scaffolds from a wide range of aldehydes directly through one-pot conversions. Catalyst loading, solvent screening, and mechanistic experiments were also performed to understand the roles of NHC catalysts and activated charcoal.
期刊介绍：
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
