Abstract

A facile oxidative cleavage of cyclic 1, 2-diketones 1 to dicarboxylic acids 3 with hydroperoxide generated in situ has been developed. In situ generation of hydroperoxide was effected by the oxidation of 4, 4′-dichlorobenzhydrol 2f to 4, 4′- dichlorobenzophenone 4f using sodium hydride under oxygen atmosphere.
