Facile Deprotection of 1,3‐Oxathiolanes to Carbonyl Compounds with O‐Iodoxy Benzoic Acid (IBX) in the Presence of β‐Cyclodextrin in Water

Abstract 1,3‐Oxathiolanes are smoothly deprotected to carbonyl compounds by IBX at room temperature with β‐cyclodextrin as a catalyst and water as solvent. IICT Communication No. 060424.

Regeneration of Carbonyl Compounds by Oxidative Cleavage of Oximes with NBS in the Presence of β‐Cyclodextrin in Water

Abstract The conversion of different oximes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds was carried out at room temperature in good to high yields with N‐bromosuccinimide in water in the presence of β‐cyclodextrin.

Simple, One‐Pot Procedure for the Generation of Homoallylic Alcohols from Barbier‐Type Allylation of Gem‐diacetates in the Presence of β‐Cyclodextrin in Water

Abstract A novel and highly efficient allylation of gem‐diacetates using allylbromide has been developed in aqueous medium catalyzed by β‐cyclodextrin in the presence of Zn‐mediated Barbier‐type allylation to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yields. The β‐cyclodextrin can be recovered and reused for a number of runs without significant loss of activity.

Deprotection of Oximes using Iodosobenzene in the Presence of β‐Cyclodextrin in Water

Abstract A mild and efficient method for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes at room temperature in impressive yields has been developed using iodosobenzene/KBr in the presence of β‐cyclodextrin in water. IICT Communication No. 051010.

Organic Reactions in Water: Synthesis of Phenacyl Esters from Phenacyl Bromide and Potassium Salts of Aromatic Acids in the Presence of β‐Cyclodextrin

Abstract A convenient and facile synthesis of phenacyl esters is reported by the reaction of phenacyl bromide with potassium salts of aromatic acids in the presence of β‐cyclodextrin in water under neutral conditions. IICT Communication 050211.
