Tertiary cyclopropanol systems as synthetic intermediates: novel ring-cleavage of tertiary cyclopropanol systems using vanadyl acetylacetonate

Abstract

Tertiary cyclopropanol systems react with a catalytic amount of vanadyl acetylacetonate under an oxygen atmosphere to afford β-hydroxyketones and β-diketones.
