Abstract

Abstract 6, 6, 6-2 H 3-3Z-Hexenal (3b) has been prepared in 89% yield and in greater than 94% purity by the oxidation of 6, 6, 6-2 H 3-3Z-Hexen-1-ol (2b) with the Dess/Martin periodinane (1) in fluorotrichloromethane (freon 11). Use of the freon solvent greatly improved the recovery of this volatile aldehyde. Similarly the oxidation of 3, 4-2 H 2-3Z- hexen-1-ol (5) yielded 3, 4-2 H 2-3Z-hexenal (6) in a 92% isolated yield with a purity of ...
