| Abstract: | The main product of the reaction of 1-methylcyclobutanol with Pb(OAc)4 in benzene is 1-phenyl-4-pentanone; the use of Mn(OAc)3 in acetic acid gives a mixture of 2,9-decanedione and methyl propyl ketone; 1-(chloro-, bromo-, thiocyano-, or cyano)-4-pentanone is formed in the presence of the systems Pb(OAc)4-metal halide or Mn(OAc)3-metal halide.N.
