By AE Vanstone and J. S. Whitehurst Vinyl ketones can be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding allyl alcohols with chromic acid in a two phase ether-water system. ... THE most usual method for the preparation of vinyl ketones is the Lewis acid-catalysed reaction of acid chlorides with ethy1ene.l It is, however, tedious and often gives poor yields., We were attracted to the possibility of using chromic acid oxidation of the allyl alcohols because the original procedures 3 ...
