Mercuration of α- and γ-methylpyrylium salts with mercuric acetate and trifluoroacetate

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Mercury-containing methylpyrylium perchlorates were synthesized by mercuration of α- and γ-methylpyrylium perchlorates with mercuric acetate and trifluoroacetate. A mechanism is proposed for the mercuration reaction. The salts obtained undergo decomposition upon reaction with mineral acids to give the starting methylpyrylium salts, while bromomethylpyrylium perchlorates are formed upon reaction with bromine as a result of cleavage of the C-Hg bond.
