METHODS OF PREPARING a,ß-UNSATURATED OR a-HALO KETONES AND ALDEHYDES

摘要

Copper(II) bromide mediated oxidation of acylated enol and use of the reaction in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes are disclosed. The method provides an efficient and practical process for manufacturing dehydrohedione (DHH) and many other versatile α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes in large scales to avoid using precious metal compounds.
