The Rearrangement of α‐Acetylenic Alcohols to α, β‐Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds by Silylvanadate Catalysts

Abstract

Abstract New catalytic systems have been found which effect the isomerization of α‐acetylenic alcohols to the corresponding α, β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds with high efficiency. These are combinations of silylvanadates with silanols or silanediols.
