Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Some 4- and 5-hydroxyketones were synthesized by the free-radical addition of alcohols toα,β-unsaturated ketones.

  2. 2.

    According to the data of the IR spectra, the 4-hydroxyketones exist in both the open and cyclic (hemiacetal) forms. The amount of the open form increases with increase in the steric hindrance in the cyclization step. The 5-hydroxyketones exist only in the open form.
