PRODUCTION OF MELONAL OR 2,6-DIMETHYLHEPT-5-ENAL VIA BAEYER-VILLIGER OXIDATION

摘要

Disclosed is a process for the production of 2,6-dimethylhept-5-enal by Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal in the presence of potassium peroxymonosulfate suspended in a solvent selected followed by hydrolysis.
