Abstract
Hexa-1, 5-diene is catalytically converted into acetone in an aqueous solution of (PhCN)2PdCl2, CuCl2, and CuCl at 60 ° in the presence of oxygen, thereby revealing a hitherto unsuspected role of η3-allylic intermediates in both the PdII-catalysed Cope rearrangements of 1,5-dienes and the selective Wacker oxidation of propene and higher alk-1-enes to ketones.
