An iodine-mediated oxidative ring contraction of cyclobutanols has been developed. The reaction allows the synthesis of a wide range of aryl cyclopropyl ketones under mild and eco-friendly conditions. A variety of functional groups including aromatic or alkyl halides, ethers, esters, ketones, alkenes, and even aldehydes are nicely tolerated in the reaction. This is in contrast with traditional synthetic approaches for which poor functional group tolerance is often a problem. The practicality of the method is also highlighted by the tunability of iodine oxidation system. Specifically, combining the iodine(III) reagent with an appropriate base allows the reaction to accommodate a range of challenging electron-rich arene substrates. The facile scalability of this reaction is also exhibited herein.
