Abstract

Abstract A facile iodine/water-mediated oxidation of the triple bond of o-alkynylaroyl compounds to furnish tricarbonyl compounds is reported. The reaction proceeds through the formation of isochromenol intermediates by the assistance of the neighbouring aroyl group. The product tricarbonyl compounds are versatile synthetic precursors that, upon treatment with mono-and diamines, hydrazines and amino alcohols, afford various heterocyclic ...
