Tert-Butoxide-Mediated Protodeformylation of Tertiary Homobenzaldehydes

Abstract

Tert-butoxide mediates the protodeformylation of tertiary homobenzaldehydes and related compounds at ambient temperature. Both geminal dialkyl and geminal diaryl substituents are tolerated. Monocyclic aromatic homobenzaldehydes require cyclic gem-dialkyls or gem-diaryls for efficient protodeformylation, whereas gem-dimethyls are sufficient for protodeformylation of polycyclic arenyl substrates. Our data suggest a stabilized radical is generated upon attack of the aldehyde by tert-butoxide.
