description

Abstract Acyclic and cyclic unsaturated carboxylic acids 1 to 4 are most easily converted to unsaturated dicarboxylic acids 5 to 8 by oxidative coupling of their diene- or triene-diolates by 1,2-diiodoethane. This procedure improves formerly reported oxidations by iodine or silver salts.
