Abstract

(1967); MW Rathke and HC Brouii, ibrd.. 89. L710 (1967). cyclohexyl ketone. When the same reaction is carried out in tetrahydrofuran at 45", the total yield of ketone was 86z, composed of 92% cyclohexyl n-octyl ketone and only 8 dicyclohexyl ketone. We applied this reaction to methyl 10-undecenoate, 10-undecenyl benzoate, allyl benzoate, ethyl vinylacetate, and allyl cyanide. We encountered difficulties in attempting to put some of ...
