Application

Potassium disulfate (K2S2O7) can be used:
  • As a salt catalyst for the conversion of hemicellulose into reducing sugars such as xylose and galactose by mechanocatalysis .
  • In the preparation of diacylbenzenes via Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative acylation of aromatic ketones with oxocarboxylic acids.
  • As an oxidant for the preparation of monosubstituted triazoles from aryl azides and propargyl alcohol using Ag2O as a catalyst.

A Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative acylation of aromatic ketones with α-oxocarboxylic acids was developed, and 1,2-diacylbenzenes were formed in up to 90% yield with excellent ortho-selectivity. This work demonstrates the first successful attempt to direct C-H acylation of aromatic ketones without the
