Benzophenone
Recent Literature
A transition metal-free one-pot reaction of secondary alcohols and
2-aminoalcohols provides various substituted NH-pyrroles via an Oppenauer
oxidation in the presence of benzophenone as an inexpensive reagent. The
oxidation of the secondary alcohols under mild condition to ketones is followed
by an in situ condensation with aminoalcohol, and oxidative cyclization to the
target pyrrole ring.
