-
Paragraph 0118, (2013/05/21)
The present invention relates to the preparation of oxovinylionol and its O-protected derivatives of the formula I in which R is hydrogen or an OH protecting group, for example a group Si(Ra)3, by reacting a compound of the general formula II in which R has the meanings given above for formula I, i.e. β-vinyl ionol (formula II, R=hydrogen) or an O-protected derivative thereof (formula II, R═OH protecting group) with an oxidant in the presence of at least one transition metal, where the oxidant comprises at least one oxygen-containing compound which is selected from among hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides.
