ONE-POT SYNTHESIS BENZILS FROM ALDEHYDES VIA NHC-CATALYZED BENZOIN DIMERIZATION UNDER METAL-FREE CONDITIONS IN WATER

A simple and convenient one-pot procedure is reported for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones from corresponding benzoin-type condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes in water with N,N-dialkylbenzimidazolium salt as condensation catalyst and air as oxidizing reagent.
