Catalytic dehydrosilylation of 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopent-1-ene into cyclopent-2-enone with oxygen over palladium supported on silica

Abstract

1-Trimethylsilyloxycylopent-1-ene can be catalytically converted to cyclopent-2-enone by its reaction with oxygen in the presence of palladium supported on silica, which gave the 90.1% yield of cyclopent-2-one and the 99.2% selectivity at 333 K for 24 h.
