Abstract

An efficient method for the formal anti-Markovnikov hydration of 1, 1-disubstituted alkenes has been developed. The utility of the process has been demonstrated by conversion of bio- derived butene oligomers into primary alcohols through initial oxidation to vicinal acetoxy- alcohols, diols, or diacetates, followed by selective dehydration/tautomerization of the diols, and hydrogenation of the intermediary aldehydes. This approach allows for the isolation of ...
