Conclusions
-
1.
The reductive cleavage of 2-allyldihydroresorcinol under the action of hydrazine hydrate and alkali is accompanied by migration of the double bond and leads to a mixture of isomeric octenoic acids.
-
2.
The synthesis of 7,8-diketopelargonic acid is accomplished by the reaction of acetamidoacetone with the ethyl ester of adipic half aldehyde and subsequent hydrolysis of the crotonic condensation product.
