Abstract

An approach for partial oxygenation through a carbocation as an intermediate was successfully developed by using nitric oxide under the influence of N-hydroxyphthalimide. Thus, a variety of benzylic ethers were converted into the corresponding partially oxidized compounds, which are difficult to prepare by conventional methods, in high yields. For example, the reaction of phthalane with NO in the presence of a catalytic amount of NHPI ...
