Title: Roskamp Homologation
Post by: johnpinecone on May 20, 2010, 06:52:16 AM
Hey Everyone,

I'm doing a roskamp homologation and while I am getting the desired keto ester product I'm getting it as an inseperable mix with the analogous carboxylic acid. Just wondering if anybody has had any experience of this, and would know a way to get the ester exclusively.

thanks,

JP
