Participants

Reaction Steps

Under the same reaction procedure and conditions as in Example 2 (tristriphenylphosphine rhodium (I) chloride 10 mol %, 2-amino-3-pycoline 20 mol %, 150° C., 48 hours), benzyl acetone 32 mg (0.22 mmol) was reacted with various amounts of 1-hexene in toluene 100 mg. A measurement was made of the yields of 2-octanone and the results are given in Table 6, below.
