Abstract
Enedicarbonyl compounds (2-alkene-1,4-diones) are prepared by oxidation of 1-substituted 3-alkenols (homoallylic alcohols) with pyridinium dichromate in dimethylformamide. The reaction proceeds via 3-alkenyl ketones as intermediates which can in some cases be isolated after short reaction times.Keywords
