Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 7 was repeated using 1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene (170 g.) and 5% by weight rhodium on 95% by weight charcoal (1.12 g.) in benzene (340 g.). The reaction took 6 hours to go to completion. Work-up in the manner of Example 7 gave a 54% yield of 2-formyl-4-acetoxybutene.
