Both alkylarylalkynes and diarylalkynes 1 are converted into the α-diketones 2 in good yield by the use of mercuric salts, e.g., mercuric nitrate hydrate or mercuric triflate, in the presence of water. Other mercuric salts, e.g., sulfate, chloride, acetate, or trifluoroacetate, do not provide the diketone product. A possible mechanism is proposed.
使用硝酸亚汞或三氟甲磺酸汞等汞盐,并在有水存在的情况下,烷基芳基炔烃和二芳基炔烃 1 都可以很好地转化为α-二酮 2,产率较高。其他汞盐,例如硫酸盐、氯化物、醋酸盐或三氟醋酸盐,都不能提供二酮产物。提出了一种可能的机理。
