Theory: 2 FeC2O4 + 3 R=CH-CH2OH ---? 3 R-C=CH-CH3 + 2 Fe2O3 + 4 CO2
?---
so; this was the theory but now are the problems coming!!
1. wouldn`t the doublebond polymerisise before the oxalate is devided into Fe and co2
2. is the ferrum reaciv enough to reduce the alkenol( yes, i know! It isn`t a real enol but i forgot the name!!) ...
so, that was it. Please tell me what you think about it
