Abstract
The main reaction products of the RuO4 oxidation of a number of linear and cyclic alkenes, at - 70 degrees C in acetone-water (5:1) are 1,2- diols, formed in a syn stereospecific manner, and/or alpha-ketols some times accompanied by small amounts of scission products, namely aldehy des and/or carboxylic acids; in some cases, 1,3-dioxolane products, fo rmed by condensation of the 1,2-diol and aldehyde materials, are also obtained.
