Uses
Diacetoxybutene is used in method for isomerization of allyl compounds using gold or platinum catalyst. An intermediate in the preparation of 1,4-Butanediol and tetrahydrofuran.
General Description
3,4-Diacetoxy-1-butene (3,4-DAB) is a diacetoxybutene derivative. 1,3-butadiene undergoes oxidative acetoxylation in the presence of palladium-based IMCs (intermetallic compounds) to form 3,4-DAB as one of the product.
