Parikh-Doering oxidation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parikh-Doering oxidation is a name reaction in organic chemistry that was named after its discoverers Jekishan R. Parikh and William v. E. Doering was named.

With the Parikh-Doering oxidation, primary and secondary alcohols are converted into aldehydes or ketones . As with the Swern oxidation, activated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as the oxidizing agent. For activation , however, a serving adduct of sulfur trioxide and pyridine in the presence of triethylamine .

Gross equation of the Parikh-Doering reaction

The reaction can be carried out under mild conditions, usually at 0 ° C.

Reaction mechanism

In the first step, the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is activated using sulfur trioxide .

The activated DMSO is attacked nucleophilically by the alcohol. The intermediate product thus formed is now deprotonated by pyridine . In addition, sulphate is split off by a rearrangement , which is separated off in a complex with the pyridinium. The alkoxysulfonium ion is then deprotonated by triethylamine to form the sulfonium ylide. The subsequent β-elimination via a cyclic transition state leads to the cleavage of dimethyl sulfide, so that the end product, the ketone or aldehyde, is formed.
