Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 ml reactor containing argon gas, 2.24 g of 1,1′-(1-methylethane-1,1-diyl)-bis-(4-methylbenzene) (CAS Registration No. 1823-31-0) [10 mmol] is dissolved in 39.2 ml of acetonitrile, with the addition of 0.8 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide [11.2 mmol] at 75° C. To the solution, 60 mg of Cu(OAc)2, 30 mg of FeSO4.7 H2O and 10 ml of water are added. Next, while stirring forcefully, 10.8 g of Na2S2O8, dissolved in 30 ml of water, are then added drop by drop. The reaction is ended after 100 minutes. The organic phase is extracted to exhaustion with ethyl acetate.
