Abstract

A new reaction of aldehydes and a,@-unsaturated ethers, which is catalyzed by acids to form P-alkoxyaldehydes and 8-alkoxyketones, is reported. These products are readily de- alcoholated to conjugated, unsaturated, carbonyl compounds. This method is of particular value for the production of pure conjugated, unsaturated aldehydes containing one, two, three or more unsaturated groups by the proper selection of the aldehyde and the a,@- ...
