Abstract
Some oxidative cleavages of acetals with N, N-dibromobenzenesulfonamide (DBBS) have been presented. As a result of oxidative fission of C-O bond and simultaneous bromination, these reaction gave ester and alkyl bromide, or brominated esters (shown in Table I). The reaction mechanism has been discussed on the basis of the experiments and the previous investigation on the reaction of ethers with DBBS.
