AI Article Synopsis
- The oxidative coupling of carboxylic acids with liquid ketones and cyclic ethers can be done quickly using -butyl hydroperoxide and tetrabutylammonium iodide under microwave irradiation without a solvent.
- Microwave irradiation significantly reduces reaction times compared to traditional heating methods.
- The results from using microwaves often achieve yields that are equal to or better than those obtained through conventional heating.
Article Abstract
The oxidative coupling of carboxylic acids with liquid ketones and cyclic ethers has been accomplished in minutes using -butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide under microwave irradiation in the absence of a solvent. In addition to drastically shortening the reaction times, the use of microwaves resulted, in general, in yields equal to or higher than those obtained by conventional heating.
