Abstract
A facile, efficient synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal is presented as an alternative to the approaches published previously, which either employed four to six separate steps or furnished low yields. The commercially available 3(Z)-nonenol was sequentially oxidized into 3,4-epoxynonanol by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid followed by oxidation of the alcohol by periodinane to afford 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal by this two-step procedure in 48±7% yield.
