Abstract
Pentane-2,4-dione with allylic alcohols or benzyl alcohol with palladium catalysts gives high yields of C-monoalkylated diketones, arising mainly from reaction at the terminal end of the allyic system for alkyl monosubstituted allyl alcohols. The effect of the catalyst on the alcohols has been evaluated; rearrangements and disproportionations have been observed. © 1981.
