Trifluoroacetic anhydride “activated” dimethyl sulfoxide is an effective oxidant for the conversion of vicinal diols into thecorresponding-dicarbonyl compounds or products derived therefrom. Unlike the Swern oxidant, the title reagent system gives good yields of products derived from halogenated substrates. The method has permitted syntheses of previouslyinaccessible compounds including tropolones, a-homo-o-benzoquinone, and a “hyperreactive”-keto aldehyde.In connection with the development of a new route to tropolones, we observed2 that the trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA)/dimethyl sulfoxide/triethylamine (Et3N) reagent system3 efficiently (> 73% yield) converts various 7-halo-bicyclo [4.1. 0] heptane-2, 3-and-3, 4-diols into the corre-sponding-diketones. In contrast, the use2 of otheroxidizing agents, many of which have been previously em-ployed for converting vicinal diols into-hydroxy ketones4, 5 or-diketones, 6 7" 9 led to decomposition of the bicyclic diols [with (Ph3P) 3RuCl2, benzalacetone, tetrahydrofuran (TH-F), 195 C, 10 h8], low yields (< 25%) of the desired products (oxalyl chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide, Et3N9), or no reaction (N-chlorosuccinimide, dimethyl sulfide, Et^ N 5; 4
