Abstract

Decarbonylation of the tertiary aldehydes 4-ethyl-4-formyl-hexanenitrile (2) and 2-methyl-2-phenylpropanal (4) promoted by dioxygen occurs at room temperature only if suspended in water probably via the sequential acyl radical-CO liberation-tertiary radical that is promoted by an 'on water' process originating preferentially from the corresponding tertiary hydroperoxide.
