Abstract
Substituted 1,5-hexadien-3-ols were synthesized by the [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement of unsymmetrical bis-allyl ethers, as well as by reactions of 1-(2-alkenyl)-2-chloromethyloxiranes with Mg/THF. The products were oxidized with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), zinc chlorochromate (ZCC), tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of OsO4, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide alone. The oxidation of substituted 1,5-hexadien-3-ols with PCC and ZCC gave the corresponding carbonyl compounds. In the reaction with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by OsO4 the internal double bond in the substrate was regioselectively converted into epoxy group, whereas allylic oxidation was prevented.
