In the reaction mixtures of the oxidation of hept‐3‐yne with molecular oxygen as products of the attack on the CC triple bond heptane‐3,4‐dione, propionic and butyric acids and a very small amount of 2‐ethylvaleric acid were found. Hept‐2‐en‐4‐one and hept‐3‐en‐5‐one were probably present, but could not be identified unambiguously. As in the case of the isomeric octynes the main primary reaction products were the hydroperoxides formed by attack on the CH bonds in α‐position to the CC triple bond.
