摘要

At present Melonal (2, 6-dimethyl-5-hepten-1-al) fragrance is industrially produced by a Darzens reaction from 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, with ethylchloroacetate as reagent. We present here a novel halogen-free synthesis strategy that involves the chemoselective oxidation of Citral (3, 7-dimethyl-6-octen-1-al), a common compound in the fragrance industry, with H2O2 and Sn-Beta or Sn-MCM-41 as catalysts. The performance of tin ...
