A novel route to substituted cyclopent-2-en-1-one; application to the synthesis of cis-jasmone and dihydrojasmone
Abstract
A short and efficient Synthesis of cis-jasmone and dihydrojasmone has been achieved by the reaction of sulphur-stabilized carbanions with ethyl 2-chloro-2,3-dialkylbut-3-enoates.
