The dealcoholation of a series of 1,5-dialkoxy-2-hexenes has been investigated in an effort to prepare a l-alkoxy-2,4-hexadiene. Though the dealcoholation reaction could be accomplished in several ways, a 2,4-hexadiene structure was not obtained. Instead, the corresponding 5-alkoxy-1,3-hexadienes resulted in good yield. The infrared absorption characteristics of these compounds are described.
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.
