Abstract
Various allyl ketones were prepared from esters via two steps : Grignard reaction of allylmagnesium chloride with esters and thermolysis of the resulted diallyl alcohol. For example, 4-allyl-1-decen-4-ol (2) was prepared from methylheptanate (1) and allylmagnesium chloride. At 440°C and atmospheric pressure, compound (2) thermally decomposes to 1-decen-4-one (3).
