1-Hexene → 2-Octanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under the same reaction procedure and conditions as in Example 2 (tristriphenylphosphine rhodium (I) chloride 10 mol %, 150° C., 48 hours), benzyl acetone 32 mg (0.22 mmol) and 1-hexene 182 mg (2.16 mmol) were reacted in toluene 100 mg in the presence of various amines (20 mol % based on benzyl acetone). A measurement was made of the yields of 2-octanone and the results are given in Table 5, below.
