Abstract
α-Diazo-β-hydroxyketones, obtained by condensation of aldehydes with 1-diazo-1-lithioacetone, are efficiently transformed into the corresponding β-diketones by exposure to rhodium(II) acetate. The sequence is applied to a new synthesis of β-damascone (10).This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
