Abstract

The reactions of 1-arylethene, 1, 1-diarylethenes, and 1, 1-diarylpropenes with iodine (III) tris (trifluoroacetate) gave 1, 2-diaryl-1-alkanones, 1-aryl-2-(4-iodophenyl)-1-alkanones, benzoins, benzils, and iodoethenes. A similar reaction of 1, 1, 4, 4-tetraaryl-1, 3-butadiene yielded 1, 2, 4, 4-tetraaryl-3-buten-1-one. The reactions of 1, 1, 5, 5-tetraaryl-1, 4- pentadienes and 1, 1, 6, 6-tetraaryl-1, 5-hexadienes also gave dicarbonyl compounds. ...
