Abstract

Induced decomposition of unsaturated peroxy acetals prepared from trimethyl orthoformate, dodecanal or 2-methylundecanal and 2, 3-dimethyl-2-hydroperoxybut-3-ene, in the presence of ethyl iodoacetate, CCl4 or dodecanethiol, allowed respectively their iodo-, chloro-and hydro-decarbonylation with yields of over 70%; the same reaction applied to the monoperoxy ketal or diperoxy ketal of cyclohexanone in the presence of ethyl iodoacetate ...
