Description

2-Methoxy-6-picolinic acid (2MPA) is a picolinate that has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the conversion of alcohols into allylic alcohols. 2MPA is able to catalyze the reaction by abstracting hydrogen from the carbonyl group, and then adding it to the adjacent carbon. This reaction can produce peroxide as a byproduct, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to form water and alcohol. The β-unsaturated carbonyl group of 2MPA provides additional stability for this catalytic process.
2MPA can also be used as a catalyst in other reactions, such as the oxidation of benzylic alcohols with hydrogen peroxide to form benzylic carbonyl compounds.
