Abstract

Scheme I11 oxidation of ketones in basic solutionsJO that the reaction is somewhat similar to the one in Scheme 111. Though preparatively not as valuable as the autoxidation of triphenylmethyleneph~ sphoranes~-~ and of certain phosphine oxides6 the method described here might very well be the method of choice to transform aromatic aldehydes in a two-step synthesis into the corresponding acid anilides, especially 4-nitroanilides (Table ...
