Abstract
An oxidative C-C bond cleavage of tert-cycloalkanols with tetramethylammonium hypochlorite (TMAOCl) has been developed. TMAOCl is easy to prepare from tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and the combination of TMAOCl and AcOH effectively promoted the C-C bond cleavage in a two-phase system without additional phase-transfer reagents. Unstrained tert-cycloalkanols were transformed into ω-chloroalkyl aryl ketones in moderate to excellent yields under metal-free and mild reaction conditions.
