1-Hexene → 2-Octanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under the same reaction procedure and conditions as in Example 2 (2-amino-3-pycoline 20 mol %, 150° C., 48 hours), benzyl acetone 32 mg (0.22 mmol) and 1-hexene 182 mg (2.16 were reacted in toluene 100 mg in the presence of various metal catalysts (10 mol % based on benzyl acetone). A measurement was made of the yields of 2-octanone and the results are given in Table 7, below.
