Abstract

Abstract 4, 4-Dimethylcyclopentenone 1 has attracted a considerable amount of attention as a useful substrate for photochemical studies1, and more recently for the synthesis of 7, 7- dimethyl-norbornadiene. 2 Stevens3 has used 1 as a starting component in a projected vitamin B12 synthesis.
