Abstract

A new facet of Wacker oxidation of substituted 4-pentenals has been reported wherein concomitant elimination takes place during Wacker oxidation to yield α-alkyl vinyl methyl ketones.

Key words

Wacker oxidation - allyl vinyl ether - 4-pentenal - α-alkyl vinyl methyl ketone - elimination
