✦ Synopsis


The Perkln reaction catalyzed by tertiary amlnes is found to run not according to the aldol-type condensation mechanism but according to the mechanism in which the first stage is the formation and cycloaddltlon of ketene, yielding a a-lactone, which cleaves to the unsaturated acid.

Recently we reported the intermediacy of ketene in the Perkln reaction between benzaldehyde and acetic anhydrlde uslnq trlethylamlne as catalyst'. We proposed that ketene, generated by reaction of acetic anhydrlde and amine,
