Abstract
A general method of obtaining β,γ-unsaturated ketone was provided by the deacetylation of 3-(1-alkenyl)-2,4-pentanedione in the presence of metal acetate (M(OAc)n) or acetylacetonate (M(acac)n). Zn(OAc)2, pb(OAc)2, Cd(OAc)2, Fe(acac)3, and Zn(acac)2 were found to be effective catalysts. 4-Hepten-2-one, 4-hexen-2-one, 5-methyl-4-hexen-2-one, and 5-phenyl-4-penten-2-one were given in high yields.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
