Abstract
A novel C-C bond formation to form α, β-unsaturated compounds has been developed by using methanol as a methylenylating agent. Methyl or methylene group at a-position of saturated ketones, esters or nitriles is converted to vinyl group by addition of methanol accompanied by both dehydrogenation and dehydration. The reaction is effectively promoted by magnesium oxide catalysts activated by transition metal cations.
