Perkin communications. 5-Substituted bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-ones: synthesis and ring-opening reactions
Abstract
5-Methoxy- and 5-dialkylamino-bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one derivatives 2 and 3 are formed in high yield by cine substitution at the fused exo-chlorocyclobutanone 1, subsequent reactions yielding 2-phenyltropone 6 and a cycloheptadienone enamine 8.
