Abstract
Improved gram scale synthesis procedures for the preparation of pyrene-4,5-dione and pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone are reported. Pyrene-4,5-dione has been synthesized using potassium persulfate as the oxidant and RuO2·nH2O as the catalyst in the biphasic CH2Cl2/H2O solvent mixture containing K2CO3 as the base. We also developed several procedures for multigram scale oxidation of pyrene-4,5-dione to pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone, eliminating the need for chromatographic purification of the poorly soluble tetraone product.
