摘要
We report a new, effective and simple method for preparing a,fl-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by reacting ketones and aromatic alcohols at 56 ℃ in the presence of CrO3 (CrO3 acts as an oxidant and also a catalyst) for around 10 h. The condensation reactions occurred effectively among a wide combination of ketones and alcohols. The procedure is simple and the yields can be high up to 98%. And a probable mechanism is proposed.
