A number of efficient catalytic procedures for the oxidation of acid-sensitive substrate such as 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol to the corresponding ketone (2-methyl-butan-2-ol-3-one) are compared.Reaction with dioxygen (or quinone) and a palladium precursor (PdCl2 or ) under mild conditions (=35 deg C), gave good conversions (98percent) and good selectivities (=90percent).
