The present paper covers a novel method for the preparation of α-naphthylacetone via the addition-hydrolysis reaction of a 2-(α-naphthylmethyl)benzimidazolium salt with Grignard reagent.The IR spectrum,MS and 1H N...
Based on the one carbon unit transfer reaction of tetrahydrofolate coenzymes, hydratropic aldehyde was synthesized successfully by using benzimidazolium salt as tetrahydrofolate coenzyme model at formic acid oxidation...
