Abstract

Abstract:(2)-and (E)-1-hydroxybutadiene have been generated from their trimethylsilyl derivatives in slightly acidic aqueous acetonitrile and CH30H-DMSO mixtures and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The kinetics and products of ketonization of both dienols have been investigated. In aqueous solution they yield mixtures of (E)-2-butenal and 3-butenal whose proportions depend on pH. Analysis of the variation of product ...
