Synthesis and Isomerization of 1-Alken-3-yl Acetates and 2-Alken-1-yl Acetates The allylic rearrangement of 1-alken-3-yl acetates in acetic acid containing sodium acetate proceeds at a slower rate but in higher yield than the rearrangement in the presence of strong proton acids. The predominant products are 2-alken-1-yl acetates. (E)-2-Hexen-1-yl acetate can be isomerized to the (Z)-isomer or rearranged to 1-hexen-3-yl acetate via the epoxide, depending upon the conditions of reduction of the epoxide.
