secondary and tertiary propargylicalcohols undergo a Meyer–Schusterrearrangement to give enones at room temperature in the presence of a gold(I) catalyst and small quantities of MeOH or 4‐methoxyphenylboronic acid. The syntheses of the enone natural products isoegomaketone and daphenone were achieved using this reaction as the key step. The rearrangement of primary propargylicalcohols can readily be combined

Wacka wacka: The title reaction makes use of a wide range of directing groups (DG) to enable the highly regioselective oxidation of alkenes, and occurs predictably at the distal position. Both E and Z alkenes afford valuable functionalized ketones and cross‐metathesis was shown to facilitate the preparation of the starting materials. BQ=benzoquinone.
A method for manufacturing a ketone, includes oxidizing an internal olefin or a cyclic olefin having a functional group containing a hetero atom and one carbon-carbon double bond or more at a position other than terminals of a molecule thereof in an amide-based solvent in the presence of water, a palladium catalyst, and molecular oxygen, without oxidizing the functional group, thereby bonding an oxo group to at least one of the carbon atoms constituting the carbon-carbon double bond. The amide-based solvent is represented by formula (1):
wherein R
1
represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R
2
and R
3
each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group; and when R
1
and R
2
are alkyl groups, R
1
and R
2
may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure.
