The stereochemistry of the catalytic hydrogenation of compounds containing an asymmetric carbon atom
4-Phenylpent-3-en-2-one has been prepared by the reaction of dimethyl cadmium with beta-methylcinnamoyl chloride, and its structure confirmed by a haloform degradation to trans-beta-methylcinnamic acid. Reduction of the ketone with aluminium isopropoxide gave (+/-)-4-Phenylpent-3-en-2-ol, characteri...
