Chloranil, Tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone

Product Manager：Nick Wilde

Chloranil, and the parent benzoquinone, are relatively mild oxidants (dehydrogenation reagents).

Recent Literature

A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination of alkenes with tosyl-protected amines was achieved under mild reaction conditions in the presence of chloranil to provide versatile dihydropyrrole derivatives with retention of olefin functionalization in good yields.

N-Benzyl ketimines undergo [3+2] cycloaddition with arylacetylenes in KOtBu/DMSO solution to provide 2,3,5-triarylpyrrolines in good yields. A subsequent in situ oxidation with chloranil or DDQ gives 2,3,5-triaryl-2H-pyrroles in good yields.

An oxidative annulation of o-allylanilines provides 2,4-diarylquinolines in good yields in the presence of chloranil as recyclable oxidant. Furthermore, a one-pot access to 2,4-diarylquinolines from easily available anilines and 1,3-diarylpropenes is described.
