Mercuric salt-catalysed hydration of undeca-1,7-diyne by four different techniques leads via undec-7-yn-%one to a mixture of the two diketones undecane-2,7-dione and undecane-2,8-dione in which the former predominates to an unexpected degree (approximately 2 : 1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
