Semipinacol rearrangement is a valuable method for the synthesis of natural products and construction of highly congested quaternary carbons. Here, a safe and green protocol for halogenative semipinacol rearrangement is reported, which offers the advantages of easy operation and insensitivity to air and moisture.
Semipinacol rearrangement is a special type of Wagner- Meerwein rearrangement that involves carbocation 1,2-rearrangement to provide carbonyl compounds with an alpha-quaternary carbon center. It has been strategically used for natural product synthesis and construction of highly congested quaternary carbons. Herein, we report a safe and green protocol that uses oxone/halide and Fenton bromide to achieve halogenative semipinacol rearrangement. The key feature of this method is the green in situ generation of reactive halogenating species from oxidation of halide with oxone or H2O2, which produces a nontoxic byproduct (potassium sulfate or water). Easy operation (insensitive to air and moisture) at room temperature without using special equipment adds additional advantage over previous methods.
