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 aci
d gives a mixture of 2,9-decanedione and methyl propyl ketone; 1-(chlo
ro-, bromo-, thiocyano-, or cyano)-4-pentanone is formed in the presen
ce of the systems Pb(OAC)4 - metal halide or Mn(OAc)3-metal halide.
