The application relates to the field of
organic synthesis and discloses a method for synthesizing campholenic
aldehyde, which comprises the following steps: contacting 2,6,6-trimethyl-bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene and an oxidant in the presence of a first catalyst and a second catalyst, wherein the oxidant is an organic solution of a neutral
organic peroxide, the first catalyst is an oxidation catalyst, and the second catalyst contains alkali metals and / or alkaline earth metals. The method can directly prepare campholenic
aldehyde through two reactions of epoxidation and
isomerization rearrangement in the same
reaction system, the reaction process is reduced, the selectivity and yield of the campholenic
aldehyde product are relatively high, the catalyst is easy to separate and has high recycling
utilization rate, and the method has the advantages of simple operation steps and low production cost.
