TY - JOUR A1 - Memarian, Hamid R. A1 - Saffar-Teluri, Ali T1 - Photosonochemical catalytic ring opening of α-epoxyketones JF - Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry PY - 2007/// VL - 3 SP - 2 SN - 1860-5397 DO - 10.1186/1860-5397-3-2 PB - Beilstein-Institut JA - Beilstein J. Org. Chem. UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1860-5397-3-2 N2 - The combination of ultrasound and photochemical methods has been used for the catalytic ring opening of α-epoxyketones by 1-benzyl-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (NBTPT) as photocatalyst in methanol. Sonication of these compounds in the presence of NBTPT did not result in the opening of epoxide ring, but the use of ultrasound increased the rate of photoreaction. ER -
