Abstract: A versatile, eco-friendly, and efficient method for the convenient conversion of esters and ester-like compounds into amides, peptides, carbamates, ureas, oxamides, oxamates, hydrazides, oxazolidinones, pyrazolones, oxazolidinediones, barbituric acids, and other molecules containing one or more OCN moieties in the presence of a diol or polyol is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of perchlorinated quinones by oxidative dehalogenation comprising the steps of providing a stoichiometric mixture consisting of sulfur trioxide, sulfuric acid and at least one aromatic compound containing one or more unsaturated carbon-rings therein. The mixture is reacted with a stoichiometric quantity of chlorine by slowly adding the chlorine to the mixture while stirring. After a sufficient reaction time the resultant perchlorinated quinone product is recovered from the reacted mixture.
