Abstract

1-other molecule of aldehyde may then react with X to give the free ester XI and the anion of p-tosyloxybenzyl alcohol XII. In the presence of the more conventional type of Tischenko catalyst XII, the Tischenko reaction can now be perpetuated by further reaction of XI1 with excess aldehyde to give ester XIV. The ester XI is probably present only in small amounts since no products were isolated which would suggest that this ester was present in ...
