Abstract
Allylic oxidation of various olefins with cobalt(III) acetate in acetic acid under nitrogen has been investigated. The substrates studied include allylbenzene, oct-1- and -trans-4-ene, cycloalkenes (C5–C8), and 1- and 4-methyl-cyclohexene. The reaction gave exclusively the allylic acetate as the primary product; no 1,2-addition or skeletal rearrangement product was formed in significant amount. Some mechanistic aspects of allylic oxidation are discussed.
