Abstract

Abstract An unprecedented oxidative cleavage of benzo [c] heterocycles using m-CPBA is reported. The reaction of 1, 3-diaryl benzo [c] heterocycles with m-CPBA (meta- chloroperoxybenzoic acid) at room temperature for 5 min led to the formation of 1, 2- diaroylbenzenes in good to excellent yields.
