Abstract
A modified one-pot method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical and heteroaryl benzils from substituted acetophenones and unactivated or weakly activated arenes by the use of H2SeO3 and p-TsOH·H2O as catalysts at 35 °C is established. The present method is regioselective and avoids the use of p-TsOH·H2O in stoichiometric amount in the presence of H2SeO3 and afforded unsymmetrical benzils in good yields.
