Ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanoate is a synthetic allylic compound. It has been shown to undergo chemoenzymatic oxidation in acetonitrile to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols with high stereoselectivity. The reaction occurs by an intramolecular erythro-hydroxylation of the enolate followed by a triflic acid oxidation of the resulting olefin. This reaction yields higher yields than traditional methods, such as ozonolysis and alkaline hydrolysis. The allylic alcohols are then converted into pseudognaphalium via a headspace technique.
