These compounds are formed by the disproportionation of nonenolizable aldehydes in the presence ofaluminum or sodium alkoxide. Although not named for Hunsdiecker, another reaction used to create thesecompounds was modified to use lead tetra-salts of carboxylic acids, instead of silver salts of carboxylicacids, and involves heating those salts with iodine. Ketones or cyclic ketones can be oxidized to thesecompounds and the cyclic form of these compounds with the use of peracids, such as mCPBA. Thesecompounds can be produced by refluxing carboxylic acid with an excess of alcohol in the presence of anacid catalyst. That cylic form of these compounds are lactones. Those mentioned reactions are named forTishchenko, Birnbaum and Simonini, Baeyer and Villiger, and Fischer. For 10 points, identify theseorganic compounds that have a fruity smell.
