Abstract
4-Oxoalkanoic acids, useful organic compounds, are easily prepared by conjugate addition of primary aliphatic nitro compounds to acrolein on alumina surface, in the absence of a solvent, and subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide/potassium carbonate.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
