Abstract
Swern oxidation using the volatile oxalyl chloride as an activator requires reaction temperatures below -60 °C. 3,3-Dichloro-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (DDC) can be used as a new activator at −20 °C. This convenient new protocol offers mild and fast reactions. Furthermore, the activator DDC is easy to handle, and diphenylcyclopropenone can be recovered quantitively.
