Abstract

Now that 2-arylpropionic acids are commonly used as antiinflammatory drugs,'there is much interest in their simple and economic synthesis. 2 Recently, Riley and co-workers3 reported an efficient method based on the oxidation of the corresponding 2-arylpropionaldehydes using manganese stearate as oxidizing agent and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as catalyst initiator. The major preparations reported for these aldehydes start from aryl olefins4 or ...
