-CH2Cl to -CHO reaction name
« on: December 04, 2009, 12:26:15 PM »
Hi,

What's the name of a rection (it's the name of its founder) that leads from -CH2Cl to -CHO group with DMSO and NaHCO3. For example in Chloromethylstyrene

thanks in advance

That would be the Cornforth oxidation

Hmmm, when I type Cornforth into google, I don't get oxidation of alkyl halides with DMSO. However, I checked my graduate level notes for the Cornforth oxdiation, and directly from the prof's notes, it says the Cornforth reaction is the oxidation of alkyl halides with pyridinium oxide/triethylamine. Right below that is a Cornforth variation where an epoxide is converted to a alpha hydroxy ketone with DMSO. So...I always thought that alkyl halide to carbonyl was a Cornforth oxidation.

Thanks for the help so far, I'm pretty sure the name begins with an "f", like fraschet or so, can't google it thou.

Ah thanks orgopete! I'll have to change that in my notes. I guess "Kornblum" is close enough to "Cornforth" for a prof to type their notes up incorrectly???  ;)

No, Cornforth is also correct, sort of. There are several ways of dehydrating DMSO and I don't recall whose is which or the order of their discovery. Basically, you are looking at a DMSO oxidation. The Kornblum uses a different method of generating the same intermediate.
