Metallic oxidants have been widely employed in oxida-tive couplings of phenols, 1 2 yet only recently have comparable methods appeared for oxidatively dimerizing ketones to give 1, 4-diketones. Surprisingly, while cupric salts have been used to couple ketone enolates, 3™ 5 ferric chloride, commonly used in phenolic oxidations, is reported to be ineffective for such couplings. 3, 6We find that inspite of previous observations, ferric chloride is an effective oxidant for the preparation of 1, 4-diketones from ketone enolates. Examples of ketones whose enolates have been coupled with ferricchloride are given in Table I. Entry 10 demonstrates that esters can also be dimerized by this method. In most respects enolate dimerizations with ferric chloride are quite similar to those induced by cupric chloride. However, while dimerizations with cupric chloride are relatively sensitiveto steric con-gestion around the carbanion, 3 theferric system offers the advantage of not being so.
