Conclusions
-
1.
Anisole, toluene, chlorobenzene, ethyl benzoate, and benzonitrile have been substituted in the aromatic nucleus by the CH3COCH2 radical, generated in the redox system acetone-Mn(OAc)3-AcOH at 70°. The acetonyl radical displays electrophilic properties in this reaction.
-
2.
The radical reaction of acetone with thiophene proceeds selectively at the α-carbon atom of the thiophene ring to form 1-(2-thienyl)propan-2-one.
