SYNTHESIS OF UNSATURATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS VIA A CHROMIUM-MEDIATED ALLYLIC OXIDATION BY 70percent TERT.BUTYLHYDROPEROXIDE
Muzart, Jacques

Alkenes were converted into α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using excess of tert.butylhydroperoxide and catalytic amounts of chromiumVI oxide at room temperature.Fair yields and conversions were obtained from Δ5-steroids while allylic oxidation of acyclic alkenes was less efficient.Epoxidation of the double bond, sometimes observed, remained a minor reaction pathway.
